We had such a fun week last week celebrating our Lutheran School. We finished off the week watching the movie "Rio" in the gym as a school in our PJ's. Although it was very fun, it caused me to miss sending home the spelling word bank and contract over the weekend. I deeply apologize for this and will be helping the kids in class today to get their lists ready to come home for the week. Here's a look a what is going on this week:
Religion: Our wonderful seminary student, Mr. Sessa, is teaching your kiddos the Lord's Prayer from the Catechism. He is doing a great job and the kids love him.
Math: This week we are talking about geometry. We will be working with rectangles and grids a lot. This is the last week of addition and subtraction facts before we move on to multiplication. If your kiddos don't know all of their addition facts they will need to work on these on their own at home and over the summer. You will also see a short fact sheet of multiplication tables coming home as homework each day. This will help them get more practice in for their timed tests in class.
Reading: We are going to be reading Charlotte's Web by E.B. White as a class. I will be teaching them the format of book clubs with this book and you will be seeing some reading and comprehension sheets as homework. Check your child's planner for exact homework as it will vary from day to day.
Grammar: We have been learning about quotation marks and I will expect your kiddos to apply this skill to their writing from now on. Towards the end of the week we will begin talking about verbs for the next few weeks.
Science: We have about 1 week left in our space unit. It has come to my attention that the moon is not visible until very late at night right now. The best time to view it is between 11 pm and 10 am. If you are having trouble doing the moon observations try looking for it in the morning or using the FREE version of the app "Skyview".
CCLS Trivia Night
Hopefully you have heard about our upcoming CCLS Trivia Night on Friday, February 19, 2016. I wanted to tell you about an exciting classroom challenge we are doing for the students. Here's how it works. If your child's class fills 1 table (either full of classroom parents or family friends), your child's classroom will receive a Leap Day Free Dress Day on February 29, 2016. When you click the link to sign up, just note in the appropriate section which class should receive credit. We will take it from there.
We hope you make plans to attend this fun evening. It will be a great night to socialize with other CCLS families.
