So I finally have my voice back and was glad to be back at school today.  My daughter spent the last 5 days saying "Mommy, just talk louder", if only it was that easy :)


At the beginning of the day today we began celebrating Advent.  We lit the purple candle which symbolizes Hope.  We then sang our Advent song:

Light one candle for hope,

One bright candle for hope,

He bring hope to every heart,

He comes, He comes.

In Jolly Phonics today we learned two digraphs (when 2 consonants combine to make a new sound) the voiced sound of th and the voiceless sound of th.
When we learned these digraphs we pretended that we were sticking our tongue out like silly clowns.

In language arts today we continued to learn about Advent.  We made a list of things we are hopeful for this Advent and then made our own Advent wreath with our own hope sentences.

In Science, we learned all about baby animals and when they are born.  We found out that most animals are born in the Spring.

In Math today we began our Addition and Subtraction to 12 Unit.  Check out the objectives for this unit by following this link:  https://sites.google.com/a/fmcsd.ab.ca/grade-1/math-activities

Have a great night.
