Almost Advent/Almost Thanksgiving
Dear Readers,
The best part of our day was religion when we made went to the computer room and made Wordles that described Advent. Advent starts on Sunday, December 1st. Wordles are computer arrangements that show our adjectives and words for a certain topic. We looked at the Mayflower by watching an author give tour on a replica of it through a Scholastic News video. There were so many things to learn about the Pilgrims and their journey and new life in America. Check out www.scholastic.com/scholastic_thanksgiving/voyage/ It is a site worth seeing. We have one more day before our holiday begins. What fun that will be!

Our Day
Dear Readers,
This morning we checked our homework from last night and we learned that the Ten Commandments are separated into two groups: Love God and Love Others. In math, we practiced our addition and subtraction facts by making a train with our chairs. We are trying to answer within three seconds. We learned there are four different ways or forms for numbers or numerals. Word form, expanded form, modeling form, and standard form. In E.L.A. we practiced our legibility key of size for cursive writing. We recognized tall letter size and descending letter size and lower case short letter size. We practiced writing exclaiming sentences before lunch. After dance, Reading, Writing Workshop went well as we are finishing up Theme 2-Nature Walk in our anthology. After we packed our book bags, we wrote down a Grateful Journal entry. Now we are getting ready for Friday.

Reasons to be Happy
Dear Readers,
Today in religion we described the Great Commandment. The Great Commandment is love God with all that you have and love others as yourself. In math we learned what each digit's value is such as 76 the six is worth 6 and the 7 is worth 70. In E.L.A. we practiced the keys of legibility for cursive writing. The key we concentrated on was shape. We went to gym and had a great time. We read leveled readers to ourselves and with a partner. We had our Spanish and a test on vocabulary in Spanish.
We listened to two stories from Sister Ruth today. The first story was about children in a country called Pakistan and how they didn't have a school building or school every day until an American skier came to the village. The next story was about nature and how maple trees begin their life and become trees big enough to be sold to people. We began our gratitude list and telling what we are grateful such as family and friends. It is the beginning of a gratitude journal.

Facts on Tuesday
Dear Readers,
This morning we picked our Solar System bodies which means we now get to research a part of the Solar System. Then we went up to the computer room and researched on websites our part of the Solar System.
When we came back to our room, we had our religion assessment on the two main parts of the Bible called Old Testament and New Testament. In math we practiced counting, reading and writing numbers with ones and tens.
At the library, we found some books we liked. We worked on finding books in the classroom for our Solar System project. It was fun finding facts today. We learned some facts about owls and what owling is from our anthology today. "Owl Moon" was a story about a dad and his daughter looking for owls when the moon was bright. It was called owling. Then we read our just right books for us. Our day was full and fun.

Thursday's Work
Dear Readers,
Today we had a sports assembly to honor all the girls in fall sports at V.M.A. We learned in religion the review questions about the Bible and the two main parts of it. We had Sr. Danielle today and listened to a story about a girl who bullied others and how the children learned to stand up to the bully and help her be a part of the team.
We took our math assessment for number concepts in communicating mathematically. We had dance class today and then Sr. Margaret met us in chapel to practice for tomorrow's Sacrament Enrollment ceremony after the Mass. We were great!

Fast Wednesday
Dear Readers,
Today went really fast. We started out with learning about the New Testament and how this part of the Bible has four gospels. Gospel means "good news". It is good news that Jesus came into our world to show us how to get to heaven.Then we took another assessment on modeling number concepts and patterns. We learned about syllables and vowel sounds in syllables.
After gym and lunch, we practiced telling and commanding sentences and then read our story, "Around the Pond...". We had Spanish class and read our own trade books that are just right for us. We got to read one of the blog posts that you sent us.
Tomorrow we hope to read more of them. Every time our blog is viewed, the map on our blog shows us where you are in our world or our country. We get to learn so much through this blog. Tomorrow we will practice processing in line for Mass this Friday. We will get a special pin along with the 6th graders to show that we are preparing for our sacraments this year.

Lots of Learning on Monday
Dear Readers,
We started out the day with religion and learning about the Bible. We learned that when we read the Bible learn about God and His love for us. Then we reviewed all the different parts of patterns and numbers in chapter 6 such as even and odd numerals and growing patterns and repeating patterns. We went upstairs to the computer room to practice using home-row keys on a keyboard. After lunch, we learned new words for double consonants and then we went to chapel to listen to the 1st grade saints. We shared our saints with our class and tomorrow we will continue to share.
