March 18-March 29th

Help: For our Bloomin Bonanza craft this year there are a few things I will need donated, if you have these things or your aunt or brother or neighbor or anyone.. 😁have these things, that they would be willing to donate, I would be eternally grateful....  
~If you have mason jars (small, medium, and large) I could use them, at least one per kid, but the more the merrier and then the more money we will make for St.Ed's!  
~I need fun spring printed fabric or whatever you or grandma may have scraps of!  
~I am also looking for orange cupcake liners small and normal cupcake sizes!
~Paper straws green and white ( target and walmart carry them!)
Here is what we are "striving" for!..... wish me luck!
Share the love!Hello hello! Yay for the weekend! Our weather here hasn’t necessarily been too terrible (knock on wood…). It’s been in the 40-50’s all week, and we’re supposed to get some rain/snow mix today. But, even though our winter...


REMINDERS: 

~ PLEASE send in your child's snow pants, boots, hat and mittens every day! We have had a lot of children forgetting their winter clothes... please double check every morning!  It is WET out there!    

~Friday Mass and when we have Wednesday Mass- they need to dress up for church.  No t-shirts, no jeans and no words on their clothing.  Boys need a collared shirt.  If you do not want/ or your child does not want to wear their dressy church clothes all day, please send a change of clothes. They will change right after mass. 


Reading: We are working in small groups on short easy to follow stories.  And matching the pictures with the words.  We will be continuing this, but will now be sending this home as well!  They will be reading a guided reading book here at school and then will bring it home in their black reading bag.  There will be a form in the bag as well, please initial each time you read and give me feedback on how they did- was is easy, just right, or too hard! 
  
Monday: They will be bringing their black bag and book home.  Please have them read this book to you! (MUST RETURN THE NEXT DAY).

Tuesday: They will bring home the same book(reread) and an extension worksheet that they will need to do and return the next day!

Sight words:  Each night have them practice each word.  They should be able to say the word within 2-3 seconds.  I will be testing every Friday, so they need to come back to school everyday!  I will give them a new word for each word they get right during the test the previous Friday!  By the end of the school year they should be able to identify anywhere from 80-100 words by sight alone.

It is important that you know that the books they bring home should be EASY or JUST RIGHT... they read the book with me a number of times before bringing them home, so they know the words and they SHOULD use the pictures to help them. 
When reading at home, here are some things to help your child grow in their reading skills. Ask questions after a story...
Who was this story about? or Who is the main character?
Where did this story take place? or What was the setting?
What was the problem?
How did he/she solve this problem? or What was the solutions?
This will really help with their reading comprehension.

We are now starting to read books that have quotation marks an new punctuation like question marks- work with your child on reading these words with expression and reading the question sentences with a questioning tone!  

Fundations / Spelling:  We will be working on sentence structure and punctuation.  We will be learning how to identify rhyming words and will be diving into capital letters! Also working on identifying beginning, middle and ending sounds of words!

Writing: We are continuing to work on labeling our drawings!  Sounding out each word!  And we will be focusing on writing sentences and making sure that we use the lessons learned in Fundations and have the first letter in each sentence is a capital letter and that we finish with the appropriate punctuation.

Math: Unit 5! We are getting better at our adding and subtracting!  We are also reviewing math mountains, greater than/less than, and equal to or not equal to.

Religion: We will be learning about the Stations of the Cross and how we can correlate each station with a life lesson! Lent will also be a topic of discussion and learning these next few weeks.

Social Studies/Science: We are finishing up our family unit this week and will be transitioning into our flag!

As always, my door is open, if you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to ask!
