Thursday, January 5th

For this mornings devotion we talked about Jesus and Christmas.  We said things we would give Jesus as a baby.  I reminded the children that just like Christmas when we give gifts, Jesus gave us the best gift of all and we can give Him gifts daily by being kind, helping others, and sharing the Gospel with others.

We dove into 2 digit subtraction with regrouping today.  We learned that when the BOTTOM is BIGGGER, we BORROW.  The students are slowly understanding, but we will continue to practice, practice, practice!

We talked about summarizing today during reading.  We picked 3 main ideas from our story, Dancing As A Team and then wrote a summary about those. The children also read 3 different examples and had to find what the summary was about those.

Today's letter for handwriting was the lowercase r.  Check out our "remarkable" all stars.

In Science, we did a classifying crackers experiment.  Each child was given 5 different crackers.  Then they had to write down their properties such as size, color, shape, how it feels, how it smalls, how it tastes and how it sounds.  The children enjoyed this experiment!

During Weekly Reader the children learned about Martin Luther King Jr.

During Music the children learned about beats with on beat, two beats, two sounds and rests.  They took turns picking the cards out and placing them in the correct spot for the beats.


Tomorrow:

SPIRIT/LIONS DAY!  Students can wear jeans and spirit wear or jeans and lions apparel to support them for Saturday's playoff game!
