With just a two day week, everyone is excited for the beginning of the holiday season. This week there will be no spelling or new story in reading. We did stick to our routine in math, and today we divided money. I shared an African Folktale, Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters. With this story we discussed the personalities of the characters, and the elements of a narrative story. The students are writing summaries and drawing pictures to show their understanding of the story.
We completed the workbook we have been studying to prepare for the new Mass changes that will take place at Advent. Along with reading the new responses and prayers, the book walked us through Mass, and explained the parts of Mass. Hopefully the Mass will be more meaningful as we come to understand it more.
Tomorrow is a NUT day for $1.
