Tuesday

The kids were greeted with new Nativity name tags, a new pencil and an eraser today.  Happy December and  Advent!  Our mini class tree is up, too.

Bible:  We reviewed the Plagues.  We talked about how we can be like Pharaoh sometimes, disobedient and stubborn.  Praise the Lord that He fills our hearts with sorrow over sin, which P did not have.  We rejoice in our forgiveness through Jesus.  

Superkids:  More practice with the magic, super e to turn short vowel words into long vowel words.  

See the new spelling list in the money pouch.

Math:  Lesson 55.

English:  I read a beautifully illustrated  book about adjectives.  We identified subject nouns, adjectives, adverbs and articles in sentences.  

Science:  Today we talked about our first simple machine, a lever.  What fun to try to get our levers (rulers) to balance on the fulcrum (half a toilet paper tube) with different loads (pennies).   Try it at home.  We could even get the lever to balance with three pennies on one side and no pennies on the other!   

The Name Exchange will be sent home tomorrow.
