I hope you have enjoyed the 4 day weekend. We do have a short week, however the first grade is responsible for the Ash Wednesday Mass on Wednesday. The first graders will be reading, bringing up the gifts, or singing. The Mass begins at 8:15. This is a good time for you to talk to your child about the season of Lent. Lent is a time to grow and change. We will be doing a service project for the needy during Lent. More information will come later.
A thank you to all you helped with the Valentine's Party and International Night. Both were fun and a big success.
In Language Arts we are learning about long a. We continue to review the short vowel sounds, digraphs, contractions, compound words, endings of s, ed, and ing, sequencing, cause and effect, problem solving, main idea, summarizing, vocabulary and comprehension. In Religion we will be studying about Lent and the Stations of the Cross. In P.E. we will be introduced to a dance unit. In Science we are working on the Four Seasons and weather. In Social Studies we will be learning about the United States, symbols, and the flag.
