Yesterday and Today's Updates

Assalamu Alaikum,

We had a wonderful day today and yesterday!

Grammar: Yesterday we played "Say an Adjective to Your Partner" where students were told what nouns to describe and they had 20 seconds to say as many adjectives as they could to each other. Then, two students would say their adjectives in front of the class (e.g. feelings: glad, annoyed, happy, optimistic, excited, scared...etc)

Today we played "Say an Adjective to Your Partner" again, and students worked independently to complete an adjective worksheet.

Spelling: Yesterday we completed lesson 11 in our spelling books where we learned list words with the long vowel e.

Reading: Yesterday students maintained stamina while reading to self, and they kept an open eye for adjectives while they were reading. After they were done reading, they shared some of the adjectives they found in their books with the class.

Today Sr. Madlien read us ONE SMART COOKIE! Students learned great vocabulary, and we answered questions about the vocabulary words as a class.
