This Week:
Reading: We learned that every story has a Beginning, Middle and an End. We said that it kind of looks like a roller coaster.
Math: This week we:
- Compiled data from our heights.
- Reviewed telling time on clocks to the quarter hour by using :15, :30, :45
- LEARNED PLACE VALUE! The students did great learning about the ones, tens, and hundreds place values. I hope this will help them in future maths when they grow up!
Playing a math digit game:
Bible: This week, we took a break from learning about the Israelites and jumped to the New Testament to learn about when Jesus was born on earth. I used 10 envelopes with 10 different pictures in it to tell the story. The students also received one envelope and decorated it for Christmas. After each day, when I show the students the picture for the day, they also get a smaller picture to keep in their envelope. Next week, they will have all the pictures and can use them to tell the Christmas story!
This week we has these 5 pictures:
It’s so amazing to think that the God who created the universe loved us enough to send his own son to earth, simply to die in our place - WOW!
Social Studies: We learned about the life cycle of a plant with some videos and a SCIENCE EXPERIMENT!!!!! We took a bean and placed it in a plastic baggie with a wet paper towel and taped it to the window. We are wondering, will it sprout??? Sure enough today it had sprouted!!!
Here’s some pictures:
