October Blessings
Grade One/Two October 6-10, 2014
Greetings to you this lovely autumn day! Tuesday of this week is the Feast of the Holy Rosary. We make simple cord rosaries in our class each year, and then we use them to pray at times when it seems like the right thing to do. There is something very calming about the rosary. J That will be our focus in religion this week.
Reading/language focuses on two stories about friendship written by David McPhail. Our sounds this week are short a and short e, along with nd and st ending sounds. We will be talking about conversation in stories and Mrs. Boyer is excited to teach how authors can show conversation with proper punctuation.
In math we will complete doubles added and move to doubles subtracted. The 2nds will begin place value as we move to two digit addition.
Our downtown unit is progressing well. This week we will visit the Knothole and Alexander’s Fine Jewelry. This unit should be completed by the end of this month!

Thanks to those who have returned field trip permissions for Friday’s trip. Please remember that car seats are required for all our students! Since this is a school sponsored trip, we will not deviate from that law. Students are expected to respect and obey their drivers so that we can have safe and enjoyable travel. Thanks for emphasizing this to your child! Have a good week. J
