Spelling - Catholic Schools Week is so busy!  We won't have time on Friday to have a spelling test.  So...we'll have the test the following week Thursday, February 5th.  (There is no school Friday, February 6th.)  Our next list will be closed syllables.  We will start learning about closed syllable this week.  Here are the words so you can start practicing now.

Reading - This week we will finally be able to get back to reading groups.  Our winter assessments are finally complete!  :)

Phonics - In phonics we have continued to work on the r-controlled vowels (bossy r) and digraph blends.  We also continue to add trick words.  We worked on dictation of sounds, words, and sentences.

Religion - We spent some time in Adoration last week.  The students are so good at sitting quietly at this special time.  They prayerfully give their intentions when we are at the monstrance.  We continue to work on this months virtues of magnificence and kindness.  In Friendzy we are working on "Teamwork makes the Dreamwork".

We are looking forward to all of the activities of Catholic Schools Week!

Writing - We are halfway finished with sharing our personal narratives with our kindergarten friends.  We hope to finish up this week.  Kindergarten is sharing their personal narratives with us too!

100th Day of School - Due to our day off last week, the 100th day of school will now be on Tuesday, February 3rd.  Remember your child can bring in their 100th day projects any time between now and the 100th day.  We can't wait to see their projects!

On the 100th day of school, your child may dress up if they would like to.  They may dress up like they are 100 years old.  If they have a special t shirt that shows 100 or 100 days of school they may wear something like that as well. Here are some ideas -

Have a great week!
