Week
of December 5, 2016
The countdown to Christmas was evident this
week. We have had such a great time
preparing by doing daily readings about the Jesse Tree and through our Advent
Calendar. We placed the second flame on
our Advent Wreath and learned that it symbolizes “peace”. We also have had so much fun tracking our
friend Gingy around the school. He has
had such great adventures as math, reading, and social studies in Junior
High. He has also visited the office and
library. This week we also spent time practicing for
our Christmas Program MONDAY NIGHT AT 6:30.
The class is doing such a great job!
We are also having fun looking for our elf, Tiger. He has been very sneaky this week, playing in
the Christmas tree, hanging on the flag, and SmartBoard. We had a great time creating our gingerbread houses
with the assistance of our 4th grade reading buddies. We also got to eat yummy gingerbread
men! On Friday we were treated to
concert performed by the Hoban Orchestra.
TEACHING OUR CHILDREN ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE…
Our annual Giving Tree is set up outside the office. Please consider providing hats, mittens, and
scarves to decorate our tree. Donations
will be given to Haven of Rest prior to Christmas.
Religion: This week
we learned about appreciating that families take care of us and give us God’s
love. We also learned that we should
appreciate the friends God has given us and that God wants us to be a good
friend to others.
Language Arts: This week we finished working with our friend
Icky. We focused on cause and effect,
drawing conclusions, and determining the main idea. We have started working with word families to
help us decode new words. This week we
focused on word families –ad and –id.
Math: This week
we have continued working on combinations of 10. We are also working on recognizing number
words zero to ten. Each morning we are
counting to 100 by 1’s, and we are counting backwards from 10.
Social Studies: We continued learning about holiday
traditions and symbols around the world.
This week we learned about Christmas and talked about some of our family
traditions.
