Happy Friday!
This Week:
Reading - We continued to build stamina for Read to Self and we managed to read for 20 minutes - 3 times this week! Great job everyone! Starting next few weeks, we will be reading to self everyday while I conference with individual students and groups of students.
This week we focused on Characters. We learned that they can be people, animals, or things. We read three books to see the different kinds of characters.
Writing - We focused the whole week on writing with a capital letter and period at the end. We used our hands to figure out when the sentence should end and we should write a period. We also charted out all the things good writers do that we should do!
Math: We learned how to add to the sums of 6, 7, 8, and 9. The students are fast in their math facts. We’ve been doing some center work in math time, playing some math games and working in our workbooks. The students are doing a good job of staying on task and working hard!
Bible - We are continuing to follow the story of Abraham and Sarah. God made a covenant with Abraham - that’s a fancy word for a promise between God and a man. He then changed his and Sarah’s names. He promised that their family would be a great nation and will be as many as the stars in the sky or the sand in the shore. God made a promise to them, but in the next story, they tried to take matters into their own hands and use Hagar, Sarah’s servant, to get a baby! God reminded them again in today’s story that they are going to have a son. Sarah laughed when she heard the news - but it goes to show, trust God’s timing in everything in your life!
