Grade One/Two October 13-17, 2014
Greetings on this blustery fall day! We had a wonderful time at Harvest Farm last Friday! Thanks to Mrs. Specht for organizing the trip and for all our hero parents who drove and shared the wet and chilly but exciting and fun day! As we toured the farm and engaged in the activities, I reflected upon how blessed we are; such amazing families at St. Laurence!
Reading/language finds us reading about characters that learn to read! We learned some nifty vocabulary activities at the UW Literacy Conference, strategies designed to boost comprehension. They are fun and effective! 2nd’s will engage in a creative writing project as they use many strategies. Our sounds are short i and short o, with some beginning blends slipped in as well. J
We progress in math learning important doubles added and subtracted. 2nds are also moving along in 2 digit addition.
Our downtown project continues as we welcome two UW Art practicum students who will share a mural project with us this week.
We will finish rosaries this week and learn how to pray with them. We will also talk about the Mysteries of the Rosary.
