I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!

Joke of the week: I taught a parrot to recognize shapes…

Language Arts- This week we will recap with the last lesson in Unit 2 of our Journeys Curriculum. Our essential question is, What can we create with shapes? We will read David’s Drawings, Mouse Shapes, and Signs and Shapes. As we read the stories we will focus on word choice, understanding characters, and summarizing. We will recap our sight words – see, we, a, to, it and learn the sight word can; and our letter sounds of /m/, /s/, /a/, /t/, /k/, and /p/. In grammar, we will learn about question marks and adjectives to describe things, and this week we will use size and shapes to describe items.

Language Arts Centers- This weeks centers will be ending sounds, sight words, and writing sentences.

Math- This week we will have our Chapter 3 test and begin Chapter 4 – Represent and Compare Numbers to 10.

Jesus Time- This week we will read our Children’s Beginner Bible Stories that they love and watch videos that retell what we just read.

Song of the Week: Mary Did You Know by Pentatonix

Being the season advent we will create advent wreaths to countdown the weeks until Christmas and will “light” (color) lights on our advent wreaths! In the next two weeks we will discuss the reason for the season, and enjoy some Christmas stories and activities!

Our Elf on the Shelf will arrive on Wednesday December 1st. Together we will read the story of Elf on the Shelf and name our elf. We will be on our best behavior so our elf can report back to Santa each night! As a class we will follow the number one rule the elf requires, which is no touching!! Otherwise, the elf will loose its magic and not be able to come back to our classroom.

Have a wonderful week!!
