Last week, we learned about Daniel in the Lion's Den. Most of the students knew the story, so we brought it to life in class by acting it out. There were dangerous lions growling and prowling all around the classroom! It was really scary! Luckily, Daniel prayed to God and angels came to protect him (and me!)
This week we will be learning the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. No, I don't think we will start any fires in the classroom, but we will be using an old-fashioned flannel board to help tell the story! Be sure to ask your child what the three Old Testament characters did to anger King Nebuchadnezzar enough that he threw them into the fiery furnace!
This week, we will be finishing our math unit on sequencing. The children have done a good job of identifying sequential patterns, and replicating them. I expect that they will all do well on the assessment on Wednesday!
In reading, we have progressed in ZooPhonics through the letter /l/. This week we will be stressing /m/ and /n/. We will be reading some Mother Goose rhymes this week, and some poetry by Jack Prelutsky, stressing the sounds of /m/ and /n/ when we find them! We'll also re-read The Napping House, by Audrey Wood. (One of my personal favorites!)
We will also be learning about the Pilgrims' journey across the Atlantic on the Mayflower, and the story behind our celebration of Thanksgiving. (Many of the children have already said how much they love this holiday - second only to Christmas!)
Have a great week. I enjoyed talking to each of you at conferences. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any concerns or questions. I love teaching your children, and look forward to each new school day!
