Monday:
In religion we learned about Daniel and His friends. They were faced with a tough decision to follow the King or to follow God. We talked about times we are tempted to follow others or to do something wrong instead of doing what God wants us to.
In math we compared money. We had to decide if we had enough to purchase items. Our worksheet showed how we had, and how much the item we wanted to buy was. Then we had to circle yes or no if we could buy it.
Our phonics lesson this week is about the GH sound. When GH is at the beginning of a word it say the G sound. But if its at the end paired with igh, or ight, the GH is silent and the vowel is long.
We listened to our story, SUPER STORMS today. The children learned about storms and how to stay safe.
During Social Studies, we did an activity about Spending, Saving and Sharing our money. Each child had $30 to decide what to do with it. They children all came up with great ways to use their money.
We learned irregular verbs today.
We finished by making our valentine buddies to hang in the classroom!
Tuesday:
Then we did graphing of our candy hearts.
Next it was snack. We had our bagels and watched Charlie Brown.
After lunch we made a craft of heart valentines. Then we passed out our valentines and carnations.
After recess we ate heart cake and drank juice! What a great day!
Wednesday:
Our chapel today was led by some of the 8th graders. We had a pray and praise service. We sang some very fun songs and grew closer with our Lord.
We counted our coins for our Hearts For Jesus Campaign. We had $36.15! With the money Mrs. O'Meara's class brought we were over $40 once again! Great job
We also learned how to make change. We see how much the item we bought cost, then count up to how much we gave them.
We worked on predictions today for reading. After during Daily 5, small groups came to work with me on a prediction game.
In social studies we learned more about goods and services. We learned about things being scarce and how the supply and demand can effect the prices of things.
We did writing using our candy hearts. Each child got a bag of conversation hearts. Then the children had to write a story using those words!
While they worked on writing, the children painted a foot stencil onto our bridge that will be auctioned off a the auction next week.
Thursday:
In math, we played Math Scoot again counting coins. Then we did more making change.
Our letter for handwriting was the lowercase v. Check out these VERY GOOD all star handwriting.
During Daily 5, the children had to spell their words and use the coin chart to see how much their words cost.
In social studies we learned about barter and trade.
We read about Puffin Birds and Penguins for Weekly Reader.
We ended by making cards for Hearts for Jesus. Our Praise Band Members always help to create an amazing worship service each weekend. We wanted to thank them for serving us!
Friday:
We picked our friends for their homework slips. 2 friends got to move their desks, 2 friends got to be the teacher assistant, 1 friend got a comfy chair at their desk and 1 friend can invite a friend from 2-O for lunch.
We played MONEY BINGO this morning. We had 6 winners today! They had to find the coin combination as I said the coin amount.
In gym, the children got a special gym teacher today! MR. NEUMEYER!!
We are almost finished with our read aloud book, Mouse and the Motorcycle. The children are really enjoying this story.
We played games with parents and friends to end the day!
