This week got off to an exciting start with a new seating arrangement and a fresh start to earn points with a new table team. This round we are working on showing patience to others and having patience with ourselves. The class is eager to discuss what patience looks like and sounds like at school, now the hard part is to do it! We are applying patience to learning to read and write, as these skills take lots of practice and time.
In Bible we are learning about Jesus' early ministry as he traveled and taught people about God's love. Today we started a story about fishermen and miracles.
The class is learning how to use their writing journals and keep them orderly. We'll be writing regularly in them till the end of the school year.
We are crazy good at addition in this class! I'm pleased to see the entire class moving confidently into more difficult addition problems with success.
After lunch today the class heard a cool story about a native American child who wanted a new name. It's great to learn about different cultures and compare and contrast them with our own lives.
In reading we practiced in our weekly readers and then went on word hunts for short and long vowel words. This week our focus is on the vowel 'o'. We listened for comprehension, answered questions and wrote in response to a story before third recess. We have come to the exciting part of the year where the class really begins to take off in reading and writing.
It was library day and technology lab and we enjoyed finding new books and working on reading skills.
We are so proud of this class; give your child a big hug today!
