Thursday, December 8th

I hope everyone enjoyed their day off yesterday.  Us teachers were here working hard :)

Today's devotion was about Jesus being our light.  We talked about how it would be to walk around in darkness.  We discussed how Jesus lights our world and without Jesus we would be walking in darkness.  Just like last years theme told us, we need to shine our light to reach those who are still walking in darkness.

Today in math we learned a few new ways to measure how much things weigh.  We learned about ounces and pounds as well as grams and kilograms.  We learned that 1 oz is about a slice of bread and 1 lb is a loaf of bread.  We learned 1 g is about 1 peanut and 1 kg is about 1 dictionary.  It helped when the children had real life objects to compare it to.   We also learned about area.  We counted the squares in the shapes to see the square units.


Our letter today for handwriting was the lowercase s.  Many of our classmates have this letter in their first, middle and last name.  Check out today's all stars!



We read Officer Buckle and Gloria with partners today.  Then we talked about the illustrations to see what is tells us.




For Christmas Around the World we traveled to Sri Lanka and made paper chains.

 

We finished our reindeer stories today and made our reindeer.  They look so good!  I am very proud!



WE HAD SNOW TODAY AT RECESS!  THE CHILDREN HAD SOO MUCH FUN!
