In Religion we talked about the sign of the cross.  The Sign of the Cross expresses blessing. It symbolizes God blessing us, God embracing us with blessings. And in this same sign we express our belief in God from whom all our blessings flow. In the Sign of the Cross we embrace our good God with mind and heart and all of our strength (source).

In Math, we continued to practice addition and subtraction stories.  Here is a video of Mrs. Easton  telling an addition on the farm. 

While Mrs. Easton told the story, we were acting out the story with our unifix cubes and farm mats at our desk.

In Science we continued to talk about the sense of touch.  We learned that there are receptors in our skin that tell our brian if something hurts, is too hot, too cold, is soft, etc...  We then did an experiment with ice cubes and our cold receptors.  Here are the results and pics of the kids:

Have a great night!!!
