I hope you are able to attend the Mardi Gras Auction. The first grade has a beautiful rosary stepping stone, a statue of Mary, a rose tree and a basket that will be up for bids. It should be a fun evening for all who attend. The students really got into the Mardi Gras free dress.
Friday there will be a minimum day. There is no mass as we will be having mass on Ash Wednesday of the following week. The first grade is in charge of that mass. Some of your children will be coming home with readings that they are to practice for the mass.
Starting this next week, every Monday and Tuesday a reading envelope will go home with a little book in it. Your child is to read the book to you. There is a list of questions on the back of the envelope. You do not have to ask all of them. But they are a good starting point. You will then initial the envelope and your child will return it the following day. This is homework. Some of the books are easier than others. Easy books are good reading as it increases fluency. Harder books challenge your child. If you have any questions about this jot it down in the planner.
In Social Studies we will begin a unit on Where People Live. It will include reading maps. We are starting the Level 5 reader in our reading program. In math we are learning about shapes and solid figures.
