Thursday

We had such a great day!
First we learned about snowflakes and made snowflakes. The students sure used a lot of fine motor skills and creativity.
Then we practiced working with r controlled vowels.
Students spent the rest of the morning taking their STAR reading tests and typing their persuasive arguments about why you should come to Bl. Pope John XXIII Catholic School.
The STAR reading test is where we get the AR reading levels. Tomorrow I will send home a sheet with reading levels for January. Most went up in the levels, some stayed the same. Both are good as long as they are reading.
In math students worked on strategies using a hundreds chart on how to add to 100 and subtract from 100. We practiced on the interactive hundreds chart on the Smartboard and then they practiced on their hundreds chart, finally they practiced in their workbooks.
We ended the day by going to Adoration where students did an awesome job staying silent and they either read their Bibles or prayed their rosaries.
