Here's a look at our week:

Reading: This week we finished learning about Making Connections while reading. We practiced with several Thanksgiving themed books!

Writing: We continued working on our fiction writing and talking about Adjectives. On Friday we finished our discussion of Adjectives with an activity where we described popcorn using our five senses.

 

Math: This week we practiced our two-digit subtraction. We did a subtraction sort to learn about different kinds of subtraction problems. We also learned how to use addition to check our subtraction problems.

Bible: In Bible we started learning about Prayer. We looked through the Bible to learn what prayer is and how we should pray. Then we looked at The Lord's Prayer which is an example Jesus gave to us of how to pray. We learned that we should praise God for who He is and pray about our needs.
