Hujambo from Kenya!

Hujambo (Hello) from Kenya! This week our theme was Africa and we got to take a trip through the beautiful country of Kenya!

We started the week with our Sweet Potato Digging Field Trip.  It was a beautiful day for it and we had lots of fun spending time together and digging in the dirt! In Reading we focused on Making Mental Pictures while reading to help us understand and remember the story better.  We had fun comparing our mental pictures to what the actual pictures in the book looked like. In Writing, we started procedural writing.  This week we wrote about how to make a pizza, and we were all very hungry by the end! :)

In Math, we focused on making change and on to making and interpreting graphs.  We also reviewed for our Unit Test next week.  In Bible, we learned about the baptism of Jesus and how He was tempted by Satan in the desert.  We learned that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is also God.  During our Bible time, we also discussed how we can respond to temptation just like Jesus did.

Important announcements for this week:

1. Next FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7th from 8:30-9:30 we will have a Parent Observation Time.  This is a time for parents to come in and observe our normal routines. Please be aware that the purpose of this observation is to view the students moving through their daily lessons and routines as naturally as possible. Therefore, please note that this is not a time for conference or to correct or provide assistance to the students during instruction or independent work. I look forward to seeing you on Friday if possible! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a wonderful weekend!
