Friday News

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is staying warm! Here's a look at what we did this week:

Reading: In reading this week, our story is a tall tale play called Pecos Bill. Students have practiced their speaking skills by being assigned parts and reading the play out loud. We have also worked on our vocab and story elements.

Math: We are continuing with multiplication in Unit 5 as we learn rules and focus on memorizing our multiplication math facts.

English: In English this week, we reviewed all the rules we have learned about verbs and different tense. We have also been working on our letter writing and fluency. The students have recently become pen pens with my sister's homeroom class at Lowell Catholic High School in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Science: We are continuing our physics unit in science by focusing on the different states of matter. After measuring the mass and volume of mater, students have recently learned how to measure temperature. We have also been observing the change in temperature over time.

Religion: We have been celebrating Advent by continuing to read our Jesse tree stories and adding ornaments to our tree. So far we have read 21 bible stories. We also wrapped up chapter 7 in our religion book.

Classroom Community: I have recently become more aware of some bullying problems in the classroom. I can assure you that both Ms. Smith and I are not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We have been talking to students about the behavior and will continue to be working on respect and classroom community.

Classroom/School News:
- Christmas Playlet and All School Mass is Tuesday at 8:30am
- Wednesday is early dismissal at 1:50pm for break
