This week in Religion we talked about making wrong choices (sin). We emphasized that we always want to strive to be bright images of God, and that we can always ask for God’s forgiveness when we do make wrong choices.

In Math we learned to identify sets with more, less, most and fewest, and we worked on equalizing sets by adding to or taking away. We also worked on numbers 0 to 4.

In Science and Social Studies we talked about corn and about farms. We learned that "maize" was very important to the early settlers, and we talked about all of the products that are made from corn. We tasted a variety of corn products, and made a graph of our favorites. We compared the results, and popcorn received the most votes.

In Language Arts we worked with the sight word "come." We introduced the short vowel sound of the letter Ii. We read about farms, and learned that there are farms that grow seaweed! Our vocabulary words included tend, wobble, and soggy. We also worked on writing lists.

Thank you for all of the wonderful book donations from the Book Fair. These will make nice additions to our classroom library and will enhance our curriculum!
