Thanksgiving break-November 24-28

What we are learning:

This week in Bible we are beginning our study of Moses. We took a walk down our big hill to the little stream and we read the Bible story about Moses being put in a basket and placed in a river and how God kept him safe through everything. We learned that God’s always has a way to work out his plans! We also then read the story of the burning bush from our children’s Bibles.

This week we added we and at to our word wall word board. We did some seek and find papers, our word wall books and poetry. Continue to have your children look for our word wall words in print! They love it!

In phonics this week we continued to say words in slow motion and this week we wrote the sounds we heard. This will be something we will practice all year long!

During Daily 5 we continued to choose one of our options and also got a chance to work with Mrs. Arnold. We have been drawing and labeling stories, using play-doh, stamps, beans or magnets to make letters and word wall words. We also always have a chance to work with Mrs. Arnold and read to self. Andrew also found a creative way to use our magnets!  He used the legs of his chair and put words going down! I love it!

In Math this week we did groups of five problems with our hands and then wrote a moth sentence to match. We also went outside and made story problems of things we do on the playground. I think our favorite was 11 students on top of the hill minus 11 students rolling down the hill=0!!!!!

In science this week we had the privilege of the Outdoor Discovery Center visiting us. They brought a peregrine falcon and a very large bunny that we got to see up close. We also took a walk and discovered that squirrels build nests way up in trees and they are called a dray. We got to witness the way God creates and makes seasons as well!

On Friday morning we did some Thanksgiving centers including a dot to dot up to 100 and writing things we are thankful for on little pumpkins.
