The holidays are fast approaching and many things are happening at OLM. We hope to see all of you at the Christmas program on Tuesday evening. Even though the first grade is not in the program it is a great way to get into the spirit of Christmas.
A reminder: the first grade is responsible for bringing in either flour, sugar or salt for the "Spirit of Christmas" dinner. We are also asking you to donate one item of your child's to give to the "Spirit of Christmas" dinner. Thank you so much for the items that have already been brought in. It really helps your child understand what Christmas is all about.
The first graders did a great job with the morning prayer last Thursday. Thank you for all that came and supported.
Another reminder: Your child will receive free dress if you will complete the Capital Campaign survey that is on the OLM website. Just send a note with your child that you filled it out. Thank you.
In math we are now working on tens and ones. Please keep up the flashcards working with addition and subtraction. In reading we continue to work on short vowels, cause and effect, sequencing, categories, blends, digraphs, comprehension and reading vocabulary. We are also starting to work on nouns and verbs. In science we are finishing up the ecosystem and in social studies we are working on map directions, Christmas Around the World and Native Americans. In religion we are focusing on Advent and Christmas.
