What We’re Learning:
Fundations: We will work on short vowel e and letter r. We are also practicing recognizing beginning and ending sounds in words.
Poetry: We will continue to work on a poem called, “A Wise Old Owl”.
Math: We will practice numbers to ten and learn about ordinal positions.
Geography: We will begin a study of the United States. For our geography folders we will create a picture of our flag.
Science: We will learn why leaves change color. Students will be using the leaves collected during the field trip to make a book.
Bible Story: We will hear the story of Joseph.
Virtue: As part of our focus on the virtue of WORK, Trinitas students in grades K-2 recited this little rhyme from McGuffey’s Primer for Grandparent/VIP Day. It’s worth thinking about and practicing!
Work while you work, play while you play;
One thing each time, that is the way.
All that you do, do with all your might;
Things done by halves are not done right.
Homework
Our Bible verse for November is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We have Show & Tell scheduled next week Friday. The theme is “two items that rhyme”. I will have the students show one thing and then their classmates can try to guess the other item. For example, a sock and a clock. Or a duck and a truck. Let me know if you have any questions.
