Winter Writing and Crafts!

Greetings! I hope everyone is enjoying the snow. I think the students were hoping for a snow day today, but I am glad we had school. We had so much fun doing some winter projects today. 

In Religion class today we talked about how we belong to a parish. We also talked about all of the things we do with our parish family. 

In Language Arts class we wrapped up our week of learning. We practiced using our oral vocabulary words in sentences and practiced reading oo words and words with inflected endings. We wrote sentences using our sight words and took our weekly test. Finally we practiced writing contractions with the word not. 

To take a break from reviewing, we wrote three ways we can stay warm on a cold day. The students came up with great examples including drinking hot chocolate, snuggling with warm, putting on warm clothes, and sitting by a fire place. We added our writing to a hot chocolate craft. Have a look at our work: 

In Math class today we practiced finding the area of shapes using pattern blocks. We said that the area of the yellow pattern block is 2 red blocks, 3 blue blocks, and 6 green blocks. 

In Science class today we began our health unit. Today we looked at the different food groups. We gave examples of food in each group and then sorted pictures based on which food group they belonged. 

We ended our week with Art class. Today we made penguins. Thanks you to everyone who sent in plastic bottles. The penguins are adorable. Have a look: 

Next week is Catholic School's Week. It begins with Mass on Sunday at 10 AM. That is followed by our Applebee's fundraiser. On Monday we have Spirit day. Students are to wear a Holy Name shirt over their uniform. 

Enjoy your weekend!
