Monday

Today was a very busy day. In language, we began a new story about working as a team and being part of a performance group. Students will also continue to practice summarizing skills. They are also finishing up their animal reports. We are also working on the digraphs th,ch, tch, sh, and ph.
We did make it to Adoration today and the students were very attentive to Jesus.
In math, students are working on the chapter review on measuring, along with working on story problems.
This afternoon there was a fire drill just before students went to music. Those who attend Atrium went and those who stayed with me completed some experiments on air. We will switch on Wednesday.
Tomorrow is Mass at 10:00 for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Tomorrow begins the Scholastic Book Fair. Students may go before or after school and during lunch recess. On Thursday, we will go to the Book Fair as a class. Those with money may purchase. Those without may look around.

Welcome back from Thanksgiving! We are back to work here in 2B. It is cold outside so remember to have students wear their sweaters, especially in the morning. In religion, students reviewed Advent and the Holy Family. In math, students had fun measuring items around the classroom using a piece of string a meter long.
In language, students are working on the main idea and then writing a summary. In science, students experimented in small groups discovering some properties of liquids.

Next week, beginning on Tuesday, December 8-11 there will be the Scholastic Book Fair before and after school and during lunch recess. In addition, there will be a Toy Drive all week.
