Hello Parents,
We are enjoying getting to know each of your children and their individual personalities! They continue to do a great job social distancing and wearing their masks.
Science & Social Studies
The students are continuing their unit on "Flight" and beginning to focus in on the four forces (lift, drag, thrust & gravity). In Social Studies, grades 2 & 3 are beginning to prepare for their first test using the flashcards in their folders. The test will be sometime next week. The fourth graders presented their map drawings in class and did a great job!
Language Arts
The students are working on their "All About Me" newspapers. Additionally, students are working with Mrs. DeGroot to determine individual reading levels utilizing the Fountas & Pinnell leveled reading system.
Math
Math books are being sent home for viewing over the weekend. A yellow note is going home in your child's take home folder for parents. Please sign and return the bottom portion.
Religion
The students in all three grades are doing a fantastic job in religion class! They are very engaged during class and love playing "Bible Baseball" at the end of each week! Next week, Thursday, September 17, the students will attend an all-school Mass. Mrs. Hubbard mentioned in her family letter that the students should dress up a little more than usual for that day.
Request
In an attempt to be as health conscience as we can, we have the students wash their hands in our classroom sinks throughout the day. If anyone is willing to donate a foam soap, that would be greatly appreciated!
Reminder About Utensils
Just a friendly note to request that parents send forks and spoons as needed when sending lunches from home. Thank you for your understanding during these unusual times.
FIRST COMMUNION IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
As a reminder, Anne Stemper has arranged for a First Communion review and practice this Saturday, September 12 from 9:30-10:30 and repeated on Wednesday, September 16 from 6:00-7:00pm.
