Dear Parents,
I hope your Christmas holidays were filled with joy, laughter and relaxation! I pray that this new year be filled with God's abundant love and grace for you and your family, as Psalm 65 beautifully expresses. I also want to say a huge thank you to you for all the Christmas gifts. It was very kind and thoughtful of you!
We had a great first week back at school. Our class was responsible for the Friday Mass this week and the readers read beautifully!
In Religion we reviewed and continued discussing aspects of the Christmas story. We also reflected on what our gift to Jesus would be for the Christmas season and new year. We will begin looking at parts of the mass this term and digging deeper into meaning of the Our Father, Hail Mary and Apostle Creed.
In Language Arts we continued to work on practicing reading comprehension through the Current Events Monthly News booklet. We also began a novel study with the book Third Grade Angels. This will be the focus of our small group guided reading sessions for the next couple months. The children will also continue to look at different reading strategies during Daily 5. In writing, we will continue practicing writing descriptive sentences with adjectives, adverbs, similes and by using capital letters in the right place. We will also begin looking at paragraph writing.
In Math we looked at reading analog clocks to the nearest minute this week. We will continue this topic for a few more days next week and then revisit subtraction with regrouping. We worked on this briefly before Christmas.
Upcoming Events:
- Professional Development Day on January 23rd - No School
Have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed week!
