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.
