Christian's Riddle: "Why are fish smarter than cats?"
Today's First Communion Reflection: Ask everyone at home the first thing thery said/thought when they saw you for the first time.
Today's Highlights...
*Creating a special "pot o' gold" containing our blessings from God - what are some of your child's treasures...?
*Practicing rewriting horizontal math challenges as vertical to make regrouping easier
*Writing predictions for our new story, "Going Batty for Bats", then listening to the story
*Beginning the first draft of our animal compare/contrast essays. We are focusing on the writing trait of "sentence fluency", and we sang a special song to help us focus on the trait!
*Working in the computer lab on a "Special Types of Weather" slideshow. We got a good start, to be continued tomorrow...
*Enjoying a special "Art Mom" presentation inspired by the Austrian artist, Gustave Klimt. it was a concentration on patterns. SPECIAL NOTE: Our Art Moms, Mrs. Mc Enaney & Mrs. Mulvaney prepared the lesson to be done in the form of a BOOKMARK. We gave the children the option to create a "holy" bookmark that can be used as the special family project for Chapter 2. If you still want to create one as a family, that is fine also. Please note that a family member must still sign the activity page in the Eucharist book, whether the bookmark was created in class or not!
HOMEWORK:
*Math p. 59
*Vocabulary sheet & read the story "Going Batty for Bats" (It's a short one!)
*Spelling sentences, try a game at www.spellingcity.com
*Bulletin Board project is due tomorrow
*No Mass tomorrow (parish Mission)
*Friday is Mothers' Club Hot Lunch, and we will be using a classroom "Out of Uniform" pass!
*Thanks to all who have contributed to our class Easter Basket Donation for a 7-8 year old boy. we look forward to the incoming donations as well! P.S. Does anyone have a LARGE basket to donate that we could put all of our "goodies" in...?
