Thank you for all of your prayers and support during this past week for Mrs. Bliss and her family.
Thank you also to all of you that drove on the field trip and helped out with First Communion. Thank you to the ladies that got all of the cookies ready on the trays and hauled the sodas to my car. It was greatly appreciated.
Progress Reports will be going home on Friday. Remember they are just that: they are letting you know where your child is right now academically. They do have time to bring their grades up. I think the most important thing you can tell your child is to always do their best and that their work should be neat. Some of the work that is turned in is very messy.
In Language Arts we are reviewing blends, digraphs, compound words, contractions, categories, plurals, sequencing, cause and effect, endings of s, ed, and ing, short and long vowels, main idea, summary, vocabulary words, and comprehension. In Math we have started adding double digit numbers. Next week we will start double digit subtraction. In Science we are finishing up a unit on matter. In Social Studies we will begin to learn about different kinds of transportation. We are finishing up community helpers. In Religion we are learning about the Holy Spirit.
The first grade will be participating in the May Crowning Mass and Crowning of Mary on May 4, Grandparent's Day.
Relay For Life is on Saturday out at the Merced College Football Field. Hope to see you there. We are having a car wash on Thursday afternoon.......2:30. Proceeds go to Relay For Life. Hopefully it does not rain.
Just a reminder: please sign planners and the reading packets.
Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
