Happy Friday!
Tomorrow is Walkathon! T-shirts were delivered today. I hope you have your walking shoes and are ready for a great day! Please arrive at OCSI between 8 and 9am to register (come find me in the cafeteria!). The walk starts at 9am. After you get back to school, you can enjoy a snack and some games.
This Week:
Reading: We focused on Making Predictions. A prediction is a guess or something you think is going to happen in the story. You can do this before you even open the book by looking at the cover and then all while you read. Then at the end of the story you can check to see if your predictions were correct or not. We read one of my favorite stories of all time! The students did great prediction what would happen.
Math: We ended Chapter 2 of subtracting this week and took our math test. The students did pretty good! It’s exciting to see them get faster at their subtraction problems. Now we started Chapter 3 which is addition strategies to 20. Looking forward to stretching the students in their math abilities!
Bible: This week we concluded the incredible story of Joseph. It’s so amazing to see how God was with him through the whole time. He finally reveal who he was to his brothers and he even got to see his dad Jacob again. Joseph had his whole family move to Egypt. My favorite part of the Joseph story is this: Genesis 50:20 "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Bad stuff happened to Joseph, but God turned the bad stuff into good stuff! That’s a great lesson I need to remember for my life too!
Christmas Program Practice - We have started practicing in the gym with K-5 for the Christmas Program! I am getting so excited for it!
Science - We started learning about Ants! It was fun read books together about ants and learn together!
