Today marks the first Sunday of Advent. In the video we watched, we learned that Advent is very different than Christmas. It is the waiting and preparation for the arrival of a special guest, Jesus. We commemorate the birth of Christ over 2000 years ago (past), prepare for Jesus' return (future) and let the light of Christ shine in us each and every day (present). What do you remember about the Advent Wreath? What colour is associated with Advent? Share you Advent promises with a parent.
In our story, the mother said to her son that a candle is like a promise and when it is lit it was like a promise fulfilled. What did she mean?
Math
On Friday we looked at another property of 2-dimensional shapes, symmetry. Everyone did an excellent job completing their Christmas symmetry drawing. Be sure to check out the bulletin board.
Lesson for tomorrow....
For tomorrow prepare a quadrilateral riddle. For example:
I have no lines of symmetry. My opposite sides are parallel and equal. What am I?
Note: For the kite definition adjacent means beside each other. There are also no parallel sides in a kite.
Drama
We read another powerful story about an eight year old Inuit girl who showed great courage. We will continue working on our tableaus this week. SUMMARIZE the story for a parent or family member. Use the video to help if you've forgotten some parts.
