This week, we started things off with an advent liturgy in the gym with the whole school. We lit the next candle on our advent wreath and practised the new song we are learning as a school for mass "Dona Nobis Pacem." It sounds so beautiful when we sing it as a school!
Our school foyer has been decorated for Christmas and this has piqued student's interest as we walk by! Our Christmas tree has many presents underneath it for the Angel Tree....thank you for helping out our community and sending in gifts. We also love looking at the nativity scene and advent wreath on display.
As Christmas comes closer, we are feeling excited! We took this opportunity to learn a new vocabulary word "emotions." Many friends have seen this movie - we watched the trailer to jumpstart our conversations:

We talked about what makes us happy and sad. The Whales wanted to see how many friends were feeling happy and sad that day so we made a "concrete graph" using our shoes! What a fun way to display data.
Many friends have been talking about shapes as they play. We watched a song about shapes on youtube and then listed how many shapes we knew (we just talked about the 2D shapes for now). We used our detective eyes to count the number of sides different shapes have, and even counted the vertices!

Our number talks have continued. How many dots do you see? How do you see them?
Here is some more fun we had this week:
