December News Flash

 December is very busy in Grade 2P.  We began the Advent season by making our Advent wreaths to hang on our bulletin board along with the message to Prepare Ye the Way of The Lord.  We have started our Advent activity, which will change each week during Advent.  The first week we chose to say something nice and truly meaningful to each member of our families.  The class reported how happy some older brothers and sisters were when they were told, “I want to be like you.”  Smiles were found in the homes as our activity progressed throughout the week. 

The second week of Advent will find the 2P class doing some helping hands work at home to show our love and care for others.

We will brainstorm activities for the last 2 weeks of Advent. 

Straw Activity - One piece of straw will be added to our manger as each child is found being helpful or kind to others throughout Advent.  By Christmas, we will have prepared a nice soft bed for our Savior as we celebrate Christmas.

Beat the Clock math has us brushing up on our number fact.  We are up to 31 facts in one minute with flash cards flying as the minute ticks by. 

We are also making our own flash cards each Friday morning to take home and practice for the Beat the Clock math warm up.

Science class is very busy as we think and investigate using inquires to discover and answer questions. We just finished our study of mammals and are continuing to study living things by investigating fish, reptiles, and amphibians.  We will be sorting and classifying our living things using a graphic organizer. 

Language Arts is rolling along and keeping 2P writing, writing, writing!  We just finished writing recipes for friendship. These recipes included ingredients for a good friendship along with directions on putting the friendship together.

We started to brainstorm our ideas for an informative report.  Lots of excitement was generated when we discovered we could write about the living things we are studying in science.  Everyone got so excited that voices could be heard saying, “I call monkeys, I call manatees!”  Soon everyone was planning his or her informative report with great excitement!  

Religion class has us writing our book of the Ten Commandments as we continue to study for the reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  We are learning how to examine our conscience using the Ten Commandments as a guide to question our choices to see if they were loving or unloving. 

We wish you an Advent filled with joy while we are waiting and preparing our hearts for the coming of our Lord. 

Merry Christmas and God Bless us, Everyone!

See you soon for our next News Flash!
