Week of Oct ober 12-16,2009
October 18, 2009
I hope you all enjoyed having last Monday off. On Tuesday, we had kindergarten in our classroom to hear the book, Jacinta’s Story in remembrance of the last apparition at Fatima, October 13. 1917. We also watched the DVD The Day the Sun Danced about the miracle of the sun that took place that day. Later in the week, we made bookmarks with a prayer attributed to St. Teresa of Avila since her feastday was Oct. 15. Friday, Oct. 16, we talked about St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Mrs. Rudolph subbed for me Tuesday afternoon as I had to leave early to take my son Michael to get a cast on his ankle. He broke it in the Oct. 9 football game. This week music class was on Thursday rather than our usual day of Tuesday. Wednesday, since Mrs. Richards was still out sick, the kindergarten class joined us for most of the morning. It was a rainy day, the 10/11th graders were taking the PSAT test in the cafeteria all morning so we had our snack and some playtime out front. The morning was busy, but went well.
Our letter for the week was E for Ellie Elephant. We are continuing to review all of the sounds/signals. Hope you are practicing them at home with your children.
In Math, we worked with pattern blocks, sorted teddy bear counters by color, and graphed them noting more, less.
The children painted maple leafs on Friday which look very pretty. Now that they are dry, we can hang them up on our window.
Our garden has quite a few sprouts. Looks promising! We’ve had to deal with rainy weather, but did enjoy the beautiful fall-like weather at the end of the week.
