Grade 1-2 News 3-30-15

Grade One/Two March 30-April 2, 2015

Thanks to all who were able to join us at 5:30 PM Palm Sunday Mass as we begin the holiest week of our church year! We carry that theme with us all this week. Last year, the cherubs wrote a play about Holy Week; we will present that play again this year. We plan to present it at 10:30 AM and again at 11 AM Thursday morning in our classroom. It is short but very sweet and significant to the cherubs. Maybe you can join us? J

In reading /language we will continue to read stories of days past as seconds read a Little House adaptation, and firsts complete The Golly Sisters Go West. Our skills are: pronouns, character and setting in a story, and alphabetizing. Sounds are ou as in mouse and out; seconds also have the ou sound as in double.

We continue our geometry unit in math as we consider attributes of solid shapes. We are also adding and subtracting, just as we should be. J

There will be a book party to share our amazing informational books, but not this week. I hope to have that scheduled by the end of this week and will inform you ASAP; my hope is for the first full week of April. I hope you will be able to come and celebrate this magnificent achievement!

Religion focuses on Holy Week and the Liturgy of the Word in Mass.
