Getting ready for tomorrow!

100th Day of School!

Monday is the 100th day of school.  We have quite a few 100th day projects already being displayed. They are so creative!  If you haven't turned your project in yet, please turn it in on Monday.  I can't wait to celebrate the 100th day of school!

***Valentine's Day***

We will celebrate Valentine's Day on February 11th.  Today I'm sending home a class list to help your child write out their Valentines.

***Corben's last day with us will be next Thursday, February 4th.  His family is getting ready to move into their new house.  Thank you for joining us for this short time Corben!

***Thursday, February 4th everyone needs to be dropped off and picked up at St. Matts.

***Next weekend we are having the students do the mass parts at our weekend masses.  K-2 students have been asked to fill 5 parts for each mass.  I don't know how many kindergarten families have volunteered, but we have only had 4 students total volunteer.  If you are around next weekend please let me know if your child would be able to volunteer at one of the masses.  (Family members are also encouraged to help with the mass parts.)
Here is what I know so far...

***Reminder***
Friday we are going to the Weidner Center to see Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny.  Please remember to turn in your permission slips.

A few updates-

Reading- This week our word work focus is adjectives.  The students are creating snowman books using describing words.  

First Grade Phonics- This week we learned the other three r-controlled vowels. (Bossy R). The new sounds are er, ir, and ur.  We also learned about digraph blends.  

First Grade Math- Yesterday we finished up our unit on comparing.  Today we started a unit on telling time.  We made clocks out of paper plates today.  It was fun and challenging.

Science- This week we finished up our solids and liquids unit.  Our last lesson was comparing solids to liquids.  We found out they have a lot more in common than we thought.  We ended the unit by reading the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck.  Then we made oobleck!  (Cornstarch and water). It's an interesting product-it has properties of solids and liquids.

Religion- This week we learned about the Holy Spirit and the Holy Trinity.

***Reminders***

*Tomorrow is an early dismissal.

*Tomorrow is the CP Carnival.  All games are 25 cents.  All the money raised will go to the CP Center.  If your child hasn't  brought in any money yet, they may still bring it in tomorrow.
