Guided by faith...in all we do and who we are
Hopefully, all the rain over the weekend ensures a green Spring! We are certainly looking forward to Spring starting on March 20th. The desktops are a school-wide source of fascination! The children are sharing their reports this week to classmates. Grades 2-3-4 will be attending Mass on Tuesday. As usual, all are welcome and encouraged to join us. Chapter 7 in Social Studies discusses manufacturing and its relationship to the economy. In English, we wrap up working with pronouns and contractions. We'll delve into using encyclopedias, homophones, and how to write an outline. there is no test this week. Students are further developing their skills with division. This week, we'll work on dividing by 0, 1, 2,3,4, and 5. Please remember that their knowledge of multiplication, addition, and subtraction facts is crucial to their academic success. Please practice facts at home. Science finds our students exploring ecosystems! On Wednesday, the classes participate in an investigation in the Science Lab. Students will be sorting and graphing beans that represent trees found in tropical rain forests and deciduous forests. Which forest will have a greater variety of 'trees'? Ask your child on Wednesday afternoon! Our story in the Reading anthology is titled "Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest". Students will learn about extremes around the world. There is a test on Thursday. Spelling words focus on r controlled vowels. As your child learned in previous grades, bossy r changes the vowel's sound. Students will work with r controlled vowels spelled with -ir, -er, -or, and -ear. These words are not only on the website at the side menu, but are also in your child's agenda. Practice every night! Include previously covered words in your studies, too. Many students began writing their spelling words in cursive. Please continue to practice at home. There is a spelling test on Thursday! There is a popcorn sale after school on Wednesday, benefiting the Fisherman's Fund for seminarians. Don't forget your green shirt on Wednesday, too! We're all a wee bit Irish that day! It is very important that you sign or initial your child's agenda every night. This is the best way to keep up with homework assignments and communicate with your child's teacher. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns, comments, or suggestions.
Please continue to check your teacher's Last Minute Notes often for any updates or changes in our schedule.
