The Beatitudes!

 Greetings! Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is staying warm. Keep thinking warm thoughts! 

In Religion class today, we learned the Beatitudes. We talked about what Jesus meant by each one and how we are called to follow the Beatitudes. We created a poster to help us remember them.

We continued with our week of learning in Language Arts. We began by wrapping up a few things from last week. We partner read a story from our decodable reader booklets. We also read a poem and completed pages in our Reading/Writing companion that focused on finding details in the poem. After wrapping that up, we jumped back into our current week of learning. We answered questions using our oral vocabulary words. We then used our letter tiles to spell and read words with vowel team i. Next, we reviewed adding endings onto words where the final y is changed to an i. Following that, we practiced using our sight words in sentences. After that, we learned our new vocabulary words (beautiful and fancy) and wrote sentences using them. We ended our morning by focusing on comprehension. We reread Creep Low, Fly High. After reading the story, we wrote about problems Caterpillar had and how he solved them. We also identified the narrator in the story. 

This afternoon in Language Arts, we practiced using the verbs see and saw in sentences. We also wrote about what we would do if we were president. We added our writing to a craft. 

In Math class today, we learned how to subtract with regrouping. The key is to pay attention to the ones and see where the bigger number is. We learned that if the bigger number is on the bottom, we need to regroup. We take a ten and add it to the ones and then subtract. Once we got the hang of regrouping, we enjoyed solving the problems. 

Have a great night!
