Religion - Our Promise Paper this week focuses on Advent.  Today we also made Advent wreaths.  We hung them on our lockers.  We learned that the four candles are hope, peace, joy, and love.  Looking ahead, first grade will have Mass on Thursday, December 19th.

Reading - This week in work on writing we are writing Christmas stories.  This week in word work we are working in our Christmas Fun Books.  These books have Christmas word searches, crossword puzzles, and other assorted Christmas word activities.  The students may also work on their spelling words with magnetic letters, letter tiles, and Spelling City.

Phonics - This week we learned a few more glued sounds.  Our new glued sounds are ang, ing, ong, and ung.

Social Studies - We are continuing to learn about maps.

Math - We are working on finding the missing partner in subtraction equations, as well as working on subtraction story problems.

Have a great week!  :)
