We made it to another Friday! Your jobs are as follows:
Electrician: Quinnley Botanist: Kayson Attendance: Suzie Librarians: Ella & Vanessa Messengers: Lamara & Evie Cleanup Inspector: Riley Calendar: Teaghan Caboose: Joe Joe Snack Helper: Lexi Line Leader: Leonardo Prayer Leader: Marcanthony So, boys and girls, I eagerly visited our Magnolia tree each day this week expecting big blooms. Nature does not follow anybody’s schedule, so I witnessed a gradual process. The differences were subtle, which means they were so small that the only way I would notice a change was by comparing them each day. Do you see how the word subtle has a silent b ? Wacky English Language! That word was originally Latin, then changed by the French, then borrowed by us. Our entire wonderful language of words comes from all over the world (imagine me saying that sentence a few times - just because it sounds so nice!). Even when we are stuck in our homes, words can take us anywhere. How, you ask? Ah, you know the answer. Reading is the magic key to take you where you want to be! Be sure you are looking in books, figuring out words, using clues to learn new words. Our online page has websites that offer all kinds of reading material; check it out. Keep up your big thinking, and be sure to explore somewhere else right from your home! Good Monday, my favorite five and six year olds on the planet! I pray you are doing well and being extra kind to those around you. This week, you will find we are beginning our new math lessons. You will be putting together all of the number concepts we have been learning and using them for a big step: addition and subtraction! I promise, we have been doing this all year (because you're so smart), I am simply changing the way you "read" our math problems. If Mr. Roach was walking by, I would have to shut the door before he heard how good you are at it already!
Speaking of good, I saw Father Pat when I took these pictures Friday, and he extends his blessings and reassurances of God's protections. Our Magnolia tree is taking its sweet time, but it had plenty of rain over the week. What effect will all the rain have on our tree? Let me know your hypothesis, scientists.
