This week we had our first faith family activity.  Our devotion was about being Living Stones.  Each of us is a living stone alive in the Lord and together we make a spiritual house dedicated to the worship of our Lord.  We spent time decorating a stone to be used as an outdoor art reminder that we are living stones and we stand on Christ.  We then returned to chapel to celebrate Baptismal Remembrance for July, August, and September.   



We continued to learn about maps this week. The kids loved finding their houses and school on Google Earth!


For our map assessment, the kids drew a map of our playground, complete with a compass rose, a key, and a title for their maps

Practicing with three different types of sentences

Designing more maps




We worked in small groups to act out our shared reading story for this week


In literacy centers, the kids found examples of each type of sentence in books of their choice

They also practiced their long and short a vowel sounds

And had more practice with maps
