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!
