A few updates -

First grade math - We started a new unit this week.  We are working on adding two digit numbers.  The students have learned many different methods to do the adding.

First grade phonics - This week we continued to learn about closed syllables.  We also learned the difference between a closed syllable and an open syllable.

Science - Our butterflies are finally emerging!  We had lessons on the chrysalis, the emerging butterfly, the life cycle, and foods that our butterflies eat.

Reading - This week we continued to work on homophones in word work.  Our reading groups are working hard!

Stations - Next week Stations of the Cross are on Tuesday.  Our readers this time are Cullan, Kyan, Mary, and Enzo.  Please make sure to practice with them.

Computer - I am so amazed at what the students have learned how to do on their ZooBurst books!  They are turning out great!

Art - The All Grace Schools Fine Arts held at NDA is rescheduled for Tuesday, March 26th. In art class we are continuing our unit on symbols and American Pop artist, Jasper Johns. We are using templates and stencils of a variety of symbols in this work of art. March is Youth Art Month! Celebrate by going to an art exhibit! 


***March 12th***
March 12th is an OPTIONAL conference night.  You do not need to schedule a conference.  If you do want to schedule a conference, I will only be available that night from 3:30 - 5:00.  I will only be available until that time because we are also having our Lego Robotics show and tell night.  :)  The Lego Robotics program is going to start at 6:00.  That night the kids will get to show off to you all of the cool things they learned about building and programming Legos.  If you want to schedule a conference and we don't have time that night, we'll schedule it for a different day.

Have a great weekend!  See you at the auction!
