Week of January 24th!

I don't even know what to say about all this crazy, snowy weather!  I hope your weekend was a nice one!

Spelling-  (long e) sheep  tree  she  three  we  beach  dream  treat  seat  leaf
Test on Friday!

 Math- Our addition test from last week is rescheduled for Tuesday.  The students have learned many ways to help them add.  We use number lines, 10 frames, counters, pattern charts. These manipulatives are always available for the students to use especially during a test. Word problems are ongoing and will be on the test as well.

Religion- Our Religion test on the Church Year will be on Monday.  I will re-review (is that even a word??)
before the test.  
We will be making our first Prayer Blanket this week. We have been discussing during these winter weeks  how the less fortunate have things so much harder than we do and how blessed we are in so many ways.  It amazes may how many students really "get" this.  We will make a blanket to donate to the homeless shelter at the Newburgh Ministry .

Science-  We will be doing our snow melting experiment as well as making snowflakes and snow globes.  The children have had an opportunity to hear some great Read-Alouds (fiction & non-fiction) about the weather.

Reading-  I decided over Christmas break, after much thought, to make another reading group.  We now have 3 groups instead of 2.  This will allow me to move more quickly with some and give that extra time to others.
I am working on having the First grade class read to the Kindergarten class during Catholic Schools Week.

ENJOY THE WEEK!!
