A few FYIs -

First Grade Math - We have been working on adding two digit numbers up to 200.  We have been counting money.  We have been adding three and four 2 digit numbers!  These first graders have worked so hard in math!  They are rock stars!

Second Grade Phonics - We are on the last unit!  It's a review of everything we have learned in first grade.  We've learned a lot!  (bonus letters, glued sounds, digraphs, blends, syllables, closed syllable, vowel-consonant-e syllables, vowel teams, basewords and suffixes, r-controlled vowels - just to name a few things.)

Science - We are finishing up our organisms Einstein Kit.  We have well established aquariums and terrariums.  Our plants are growing like crazy.  It has been a fun and interesting unit.

Religion - Today we have our last Religion with Ms. Mac.  She has taught the kids so much about the Bible, sacraments, feasts, etc.

Handwriting - The first graders have finished their handwriting book.  The second graders are still plugging away.  They are learning capital cursive letters.  They have learned all of the lower case cursive letters.

Reading - Wow!  We have worked hard in reading this year.  Everyone moved up quite a few levels!  This week our word work focus is basewords, prefixes, and suffixes.  The kids love daily 5!


It's really hot in our school.  Yesterday after the kids came in from recess, this is what happened...

Thanks Marzecs for the fan.  :)

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

****PBIS****
Our class has accomplished their final reward for the school year.  They earned 250 faith shields for their class reward.  They have again chosen free time.  :)  We are going to do our faith shield reward on Thursday afternoon.  So, if your child wants to, they may bring in things to play with.  They can bring board games, cards, electronics, etc.  All items will stay in their backpacks until we have our free time at 2:15 on Thursday.



I have a lot of great pictures from last week.  These pictures are from May Crowning, the children's museum, and our Einstein kit.  Enjoy!

***Reminder ***

Tomorrow is our mass and May Crowning.  The second graders need to come to school in their uniform clothes.  They will change into their uniform clothes after mass.  The bus is leaving at 9:20 for the children's museum - we won't have a lot of time.

Cullan, Katey, Landon, Kyan, Madison, Gabriel, Monika, and Mario signed up for a ham an cheese sandwich and lunch from our school kitchen.  The rest of the students must bring a cold lunch tomorrow.  The lunch must be a brown bag lunch and everything in it must be consumable.

*First grade has math homework tonight.

***Reminders about Thursday***

*Thursday is our mass and May crowning.  Second graders need to come to school in their First Communion clothes.  They will change into uniforms after mass.  There will be a little time for pictures, but then we need to get going.  Our bus leaves school at 9:20 for our field trip.

The day of the field trip everyone must bring a lunch.  Some students indicated that they would be having the ham and cheese sandwich from school.  If you did not check that option, your child must have a lunch.  The lunch needs to be a brown bag lunch - no lunch boxes.  Everything needs to be consumable - plastic silverware, baggies, etc.  We will not be bringing the lunches back with us.

*Monday, May 9th, just the second graders will have a dress down day. It's their day to have a dress down from May Crowning/First Communion.

*Second grade has math homework tonight.

*There will not be a spelling list this week.

*Mass / May Crowning is on Thursday.

*The Building for Kids Field Trip is on Thursday.

*The talent show is on Friday.

*Friday is a half day.

What a busy week!!!
