What we are learning:

This week in Bible we continued our study of the Patriarchs.. We read through the story of Rebekah being chosen to be Jacob’s wife. We also read the story of Jacob and Esau and how Jacob used deception to receive the blessing from Abraham. We learned that even when we make bad choices God still can work through us.                                              We also did a thankful sentence prayer during devotions, where each child expressed to God one thing they are thankful for.

In phonics this week we practiced reading our alphabet chart in different ways-by sound, letter, picture or a combination of any three. We also worked on saying words slowly to hear the sounds. This was also very helpful for our writing workshop in which we labeled what our Thanksgiving tables look like.

In math this week we worked in centers to practice ordering things. To make it more challenging we closed our eyes and had our partners take something out of our orders to see if we could figure out what number was missing! We also worked on writing numbers as well as figuring out if we have enough spoons or forks for everyone in our groups. We learned that you can still have enough even when you have extra!

In engaging God’s world we began our unit on weather. Our field trip was a great building block for this unit, as we saw how the weather can change daily! We learned what it means to be a scientist and we are keeping weather journals so we can track the patterns in our weather!

Fun on our very cold and snowy field trip!

Gwen was Up in Lights this week. Her mom and dad came in to share about her! We learned so many things about her including her favorite book, animals and Bible story. We are so blessed to have Gwen and her amazing giggle in our classroom! She exudes the love and joy of Jesus!
