It was wonderful to see all the parents and grandparents that attended the May Crowning Mass on Friday. The first graders did a beautiful job with everything. They all worked very hard to do their very best. Thank you to the moms that helped. The Mass was a good reminder that the month of May is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. This is a good time to pray the rosary as a family, in honor of Mary.
Your child did not bring home their planner as they did not write in it.
Curriculum is the same. The double digit addition in math is going well. This is where it is so important to automatically know their math facts to 18. We do no regrouping of double digit numbers in the first grade. Some students are still having difficulty with the vowel sounds. Continue to work on them at home. They need to know the picture clues for all vowel sounds as well as knowing the signs for both long and short vowels.
Friday morning the Talent Show will take place at 8:30. You are welcome to come. It will be in the auditorium. We do have a few first graders that will be performing.
Shorts may be worn beginning Monday, May 4.
It has been a warm weekend. I hope you are enjoying it. If you have read this blog have your child write in their planner 2 rhyming words for long a, 2 rhyming words for long i, and 2 rhyming words for long o.
GOD BLESS YOU!
