As we begin the season of advent, we begin to sharpen out faith with the preparation for Jesus' birth. The 1st Sunday of Advent symbolizes Hope with the “Prophet’s Candle” reminding us that Jesus is coming. In the classroom, we created an advent wreath outside our door, and we are more aware of how we treat others, in the classroom and beyond, while we wait in hope for Jesus' birth. Classroom notes: SS: Last week's test is in this week's Thursday folder. We are now researching important citizens of WI, creating story maps after learning about them, followed by our own trading cards. Hopefully this will give students a new perspective on the many influential people that have made WI what it is today. RLA: New reading logs went home this week. Keep on reading! We are still reading"The One and Only Ivan", while challenging ourselves with new vocabulary. We are working to sharpen our grammar skills(specifically punctuation and capitalization), as this was one of our weaker areas as a class. If your child enjoys working on a computer or tablet, one great website with lots of grammar games is www.mrnussbaum.com/ . We have played a few in class, and kids seem to enjoy them, so feel free to load them up at home to reinforce what we are working on in school. Enjoy the week and stay warm! www.mrnussbaum.com/ Comments are closed.
