Week of March 7th- March 11th!

I hope your weekend was as enjoyable one.

Wednesday, March 9th is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent.  We will have a LENTEN CROSS OF KINDNESS in our class and when Mrs. Abate or I see the students doing or saying something kind to someone else they will color a portion of the cross.  We hope the cross is fully colored by Easter. We will be doing many activities during this Easter season.

We will begin Chapter 10 in Religion which is the introduction of the  Holy Spirit and Pentecost.
Our test will be next Monday, March 14th.

Spelling- north  thorn  fork  storm  horse  shark  star  scarf  barn  chart
Test on Friday

Our Dinosaur projects are due back on Tuesday, March 8th.  The students will share these Reading projects with the class.

Please read each night with your child!

We began our unit on subtraction and the class wrote great subtraction stories.  We will have a test Friday on basic subtraction and word problems.

Thank you to Mrs. Gayton for visiting our class and telling us about her job as a nurse.  Mrs. Reinhart will be coming on Friday.
We will be creating our own community and will begin planning that this week.

We began discussing Recycling, Reusing and Reducing on Friday and the students had to come up with ways to reuse newspapers, water bottles and egg cartons.  What great ideas they came up with!

Each child will need an empty, clean 2 liter bottle.  We'll be reusing them to make windsocks.

May God bless you and those you love this holy Easter season.
