Be sure to read the school newsletter about our school wide Lenten service project (charity). Our classroom rice bowl is almost full (almsgiving). We went to Adoration in the chapel on Friday to spend time in prayer with our friend Jesus (prayer). This week the symbol we added to our Lenten symbols bag was the pretzel. Early christians made bread and folded it into the shape of the pretzel to remind them to pray for forgiveness.
* Please read the school newsletter about looking at your child's report card. If you are coming in for a conference you may want to make a copy of your child's report card and bring it with you.
In Language Arts we are reading and writing about the things we are learning about- spring, changes in the weather, new growth, etc. In Math we are focusing on combinations. Each child is working on a different combination depending on where their concept of number is at this time. The number concept your child is working on will be on their Quarterly update that you will receive at conferences or in next week's Friday folder if you are not coming in for conferences. Children develop the concept of number through various activities in the classroom as well as number stations during Math Workshop. In Science we will be observing and writing about what is all around us. In Social Studies we are doing jobs daily, getting paid and choosing to spend or save our money during Mini Economy as well as citizenship. In Religion we are focusing on Lent, lenten symbols, our relationship with Jesus and others, and understanding that all of creation is from God and how evident that is in the changes we will be observing (new life).
