Religion: We are practicing our prayer manners
each day. We pray at the start of the school day,
before lunch, and at the end of the school day. We
are learning a special prayer about thanking God.
We are learning about the Bible.
Superkids: We are working in the first book titled
Welcome Back, Superkids. We are singing the
songs that describe each character. We are
reviewing consonant sounds and short vowel
sounds. We are writing sentences in Our First
Journal.
Math: We are practicing using math vocabulary
words to name the parts of an addition sentence.
The first chapter in our math textbook introduces
strategies to solve addition problems. We are
drawing pictures to help us answer math problems.
Daily math activities: Each day of the week
highlights a special strategy for solving math
problems. We solved problems, created a chart
using tally marks, and used shapes to create
patterns.
ME Bags: We had lots of fun sharing our treasures
with the class. Each child had a turn to show the
items in the bag. On Friday, we enjoyed sharing
them again during a special Free Choice time.
