Happy Sunday! I’m sorry that this post if a few days late.
Last Week:
Reading: We learned all about characters! We learned that characters can be the people, animals, or things in a story that can think, feel and act. We read several books with all different kinds of characters. On Friday, we looked at our own books in our book folder and write down the names of the characters.
Writing: We are learned about how to write good opening sentences to make our stories exciting.
Math: We are continuing to move through subtraction. The students are doing great figuring out basic subtraction problems.
Bible: We finished the story of Jacob and learned that God changed his name to Israel. God kept his promise in Jacob’s life and brought Jacob back to his home and to his brother Esau who forgave him. Next we’ll learn about the exciting story of one of Jacob’s sons, Joseph!
Social Studies: We finished a unit called Me on the Map. We learned about our planet earth, our continent Asia, our country Japan, our prefecture Okinawa, our school and area Yomitan OCSI, and ME in the classroom!
For our Fun Friday this week, 2.1 class came to join in the fun.
