The Advent Season Is Here

We started our day with an Advent wreath lighting ceremony in church this morning. In reading, we also learned about what Advent is, and why we celebrate it. We also talked about the Advent colors of purple and pink and what they mean. At the end of the day, we started our Advent calendar in the classroom by opening up December 1st. We'll catch up tomorrow!

We also made snowmen decorations for our hall, which taught us the importance of following directions in order. Tomorrow we'll continue with our tree decorating!

In math, we had fun measuring things around the room and talked about the different types of measuring tools (rulers, tape measures, measuring cups) and talked about how we'll be using different types of measuring tools between now and Christmas.

We are back into guided reading groups, so please have your child remember to complete their reading homework each night and bring it back to school each day. Thanks for your help!
