FEBRUARY 25-FEBRUARY 29
Once again we have a short week. Dismissal on Thursday is at 12:30 with there being no school on Friday. Many of the teachers are going to Anaheim for the Religion Congress.
Mrs. Mills' first grade will be presenting the morning Lenten Prayer on Tuesday, February 26. You are all welcome to attend. It will start at 8:00. We hope to see you there.
This week in Math, Science and Social Studies we will be finishing up units. We will be taking a cumulative review test on chapters 1-7 in Math. We will be taking a Social Studies test on the United States. In Reading we will still be reviewing all of the things listed every week in the blog. We are finishing up on long a this week and next week will start on long e. You will notice that the spelling word list follows the vowel sounds. There are no vocabulary words this week. This gives you lots of time to review the old words with your child. Some of your children still do not recognize these words. Please work with them. Thank you.
We hope you have a good week. GOD LOVES YOU!

FEBRUARY 18-FEBRUARY 22
We hope you are enjoying another 3 day weekend. Hopefully you are continuing to talk to your child about the season of Lent.
We are moving along in Reading. We have finished the Level 4 reader and are now beginning the Level 5 reader. Your children took a reading assessment last week on Level 4. We started learning about the sound that long a makes. We continue to review blends, digraphs, contractions, compound words, short vowel sounds, cause and effect, categories, sequencing, summarizing, main idea and comprehension. You can help out at home by asking questions about any story they are reading. And please continue to review vocabulary words. Students struggle with workbook reading pages if they do not know vocabulary.
We are finishing up on the United States and weather and the four seasons. We are making a Stations of the Cross booklet in Religion.
The Valentine's party was lots of fun for each class. Thanks for all your support and thank you to those who brought items for the parties and came and helped. it was appreciated.

FEBRUARY 11-FEBRUARY 15
We hope you enjoyed your day off and are ready for a short week with another Monday off next week. Thursday is Valentine's Day. There will be a Valentine's party that afternoon. The room mothers are in charge. Remember to send a valentine for each child in the class. It is also a free dress day. Red, pink or white are the colors.
The first graders did a good job with the Ash Wednesday Mass. We are in the Lenten season and each class will be preparing a morning prayer service. We will let you know when those will take place.
In Reading we are moving into the long vowel sounds. This week we will begin with long a. We continue to review the short vowel sounds. We will also be taking a reading test which will cover the skills your child has learned. There will be no vocabulary words this week. This gives all of your children time to review the old ones.
In Math we are telling time. Please continue to practice money as there will be a math review of all chapters covered.
We are still studying the weather, the 4 seasons and the United States.
In Religion we will be making a Stations of the Cross book. It is a wonderful way to teach your children about the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us.
Have a great week. Try to remind your children to do something extra for the Lenten season. GOD LOVES YOU!

FEBRUARY 4-FEBRUARY 8
We hope those of you who attended the auction had a great time. The first grade auction items were well received. Thank you to the parents who took on those two projects and saw that it got done. A job well done!
Catholic Schools Week was a huge success. Your children had a great time and we met up with their buddies several times. We are sure they shared with you about all the events that took place.
The first grade is putting on the Ash Wednesday mass at school. Some of the first graders will be reading while others will be bringing up the gifts. It is the beginning of Lent so we will be talking in Religion about things we can do during Lent to help us learn and grow. Please talk to your child about one thing they can really work on during Lent. We would like to see your child do something for someone rather than giving up something. This is just a thought. Because we are in the season of Lent the Valentine's party will be low-key. It will be held on February 14 and the room mothers will be in charge. Please make sure your child has a valentine for every child in his or her class.
We will be having a math test this week on money. We will then be beginning time in Math. We start out with the o'clock and then move to half-past the hour.
The other subjects are the same as we continue to review. Another reminder about vocabulary words: please review on a nightly basis.
There will be no school on Monday, February 11, or Monday, February 18.
