Happy week before Thanksgiving!
Walkathon - Thank you so much for all the parents and students that came out for the Walkathon last Saturday! It was such a fun day! You all did a great job walking such far distances! Today we had our Walkathon Assembly and we got to cheer for the students who came in first and who won different awards.
This Week:
Reading: This week we talked about Summarizing. I pulled out my summarising glove which included characters, setting, beginning, middle, end, problem, and solutions. We even played a game where we passed it around and when the music stopped and who ever had it, had to tell me one of the parts of the Summarizing Glove.
We also read a story called Houses Around the World. Because our Bible verse had the word “house” in it, we read the story and tried to figure out the Main Idea and Details. On Wednesday and Thursday, 2.1 came to visit us! They helped us edit our writing. On Thursday, together with our 2.1 buddy, we designed our dream house. Thanks 2.1 for coming over to our class!
Math: This week we talked about Domino’s! We figured out that on the odd numbers, there is a dot in the middle, and in the even numbers there is not. We also figured out the two parts and how they equal the total on the domino.
Remember how last week we did Graphs? Here are the pictures from the graph centers we did!
Bible: We finished the story of Joshua. What a neat story! The Israelites can finally enter the Promise Land of Cannan and now they are completely trusting in God unlike the people before them! After conquoring the city of Jericho, they went on to conquer the whole land. When Joshua was about to die, he called all the people and gave them a very important choice. He said that there will be other gods and idols that will come up, so you need to choose who you will serve.
In class, we reenacted the Battle of Jericho in class! Here are some pictures. Do you see Rahab with the red chord in the middle of the city?
Christmas Program Practice: Is in full swing! Every day now we are in the gym with all of elementary practicing for the Christmas program. Are the students starting to sing the songs at home? They are all doing great!
