Grade One/Two March 9-13, 2015
Greetings! Since we won’t be in school on St. Patrick’s feast day, March 17, we’ll do a bit of celebrating this week! We will learn about this important saint and have a couple of fun activities to remember him.
In reading/language, we will read two more stories about space and the moon. We have bunches of skill lessons this week, including ABC order, making inferences, pronouns and syllables, magic e, and doubling the middle consonant in a word.
We will complete our money unit in math. Thanks for all you do to help your child learn about money. As you have probably seen, it’s really a challenge when counting money to switch from quarters, to dimes, to nickels, to pennies! We are also working on place value. Seconds will add and subtract 3 digits this week.
Writing books is slow and hard and we probably will not have them all bound by the end of this week. Oh well!
Lent and the Mass are two topics in religion. This is the big week to make clothespin crucifixes, a really nifty project! We are learning the parts of the Mass to help enhance that celebration. Knowledge and understanding mean so much. Our trip to the Cathedral and Synagogue was wonderful! We had a great discussion about it on Friday. Based on the children’s responses, I think it was very worthwhile.
