I hope everyone enjoyed our three day weekend. Last Friday we talked about Christopher Columbus and did a few projects, today we revisited him and I was amazed...we were able to name all three ships he sailed on and they rememberd all the things that happened in the story we had read, some of their memories are better than mine :) Here is a look at this week:
Monday: No School
Tuesday
All School Mass
I would like to compliment the students on their behavior during the Mass, they did an excellent job. We say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and other classroom prayers everyday, you may want to practice the Our Father and Hail Mary with your child, or even pray with them using these prayers.
Homework: Letter Aa printing paper.
Wednesday
We are starting to listen for the middle sound we hear in words. For example, in the word cat, we hear a in the middle. By now your child should be able to recognize the letters we have learned, c,o,g,a, as well as say the sound the letter makes. Your child should also be blending two letters together, such as og, ag. Next week I will start testing the students on these letters for our first quarter progress report ( we get a 1st quarter progress report in place of a 1st quarter report card). Feel free to practice with your child at home...it makes a big difference! The more practice the easier it becomes and the more confident your child becomes too.
Thursday
No riddle of the week for homework.
Computers & Art
Friday
No School, have another great long weekend. Stay Warm!!
