Those of you who had first graders presenting the morning Lenten prayer last week...they did a great job and portrayed Jesus' miracle well. On Friday, March 8, we will be traveling to Hampshire and Emeritus to present the living Stations of the Cross with the 8th graders. If you have signed up to drive I will need you. If you signed up to drive to Park Merced on Wednesday, March 13, I will need you.
The 3rd quarter will end on Friday with report cards coming out on Friday, March 15.
In math we are beginning a chapter on money. You can help your child by working with pennies, nickels and dimes this week. Make sure you have your child count out the money. On daily assignments and money homework I require the students to write out the amounts counting on. This is the best way for them to learn counting money. Do not work with a quarter this week. A math vocabulary paper will be going home on Monday. Please review the highlighted math words with your child. They are words that will be used and will be on worksheets and math tests.
Beginning 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 packet. You should go over the questions with your child. Your child is to pick one question and answer it. The answer will be written in the planner. This is considered homework. Therefore it is very important your child complete this assignment, you initial the envelope and return it the following day. Some of the books are easier than others. Easy books are good for improving reading fluency. Harder books challenge your child. If you have any questions about this just jot your question down in the planner.
The vocabulary test will be given this week. Some were tested last week and they all did very well.
