The school year is half over and we are moving right along. The Saturday evening 5:00 mass will kick off Catholic Schools Week. Make sure your child wears their school uniform to the mass that they are attending. Next week begins Catholic Schools Week. More information will be in next week's blog about all of the activities that will be occurring during the week. A permission slip will be going home this week for the All-School Mass at St. Patrick's on February 3. I will be needing drivers for that morning.
In Language Arts we have started the 2nd unit in Level 4. We continue to work on vocabulary, cause and effect, sequencing, predictions, classification, short vowels, nouns, verbs, blends, endings of ed, s, ing, plurals, contractions, compound words, digraphs, writing skills, reading fluency and comprehension. In Science we are learning about the weather and the seasons. In Social Studies we are learning about the Dominican Republic and other cultures. In P.E. we are doing dance and rhythms. We are also using bean bags. In Religion we are learning about the Eucharist, forgiveness and making the right choice. In Math we are starting a new chapter on shapes and solids. A vocabulary sheet about this chapter will go home on Monday. Please review the vocabulary terms with your child. They are used on the assignments and tests.
A few reminders:
All students had a homework assignment to write in the planner.
The only sweaters or sweatshirts allowed are OLM ones.
Coats and jackets are not to be worn in the classroom.
Please check the handbook for hair accessories. Some that are worn are not acceptable.
Leggings are not allowed. Tights are acceptable.
Please remind your child to use the bathroom before school, during recess and during lunchtime. It has really become an interruption during the school day. Students are asking to leave during instruction time, during tests and during assignments.
