Creation

Father Chris came by Wednesday afternoon to listen to the children read their Creation Books. It worked out great that we were doing Read To Someone (part of Daily 5) and he got to listen to the children read and check for understanding (comprehension strategy). He was really impressed and the kids loved that Father came to listen to them read. They also noted that Father begins with the letter Ff which is the letter sound we were working on. :) Father also brought his statue of St. Francis and told them that he was a martyr who loved all of God's creation. A great way to wrap up our study of creation. The children know that everything is a gift from God and that he created everything.
