Happy Catholic School's Week!

Greetings! Today marked the beginning of Catholic School's Week. This is a week were we celebrate our faith and our great school. Each day there is a fun activity planned. Today's theme was giving thanks for vocations. This afternoon we attended a prayer service giving thanks for all that Msgr. Lockard, Fr. Rizzo, Deacon Condor, and Sister Margie do for us here at Holy Name. Without their support, I don't know where we would be. 

In between all of the fun activities this week, there is learning to be done. Today in Religion we talked about how our parish is like a family. We share, pray, and celebrate special times together. 

We began a new week of learning in Language Arts today. Today we learned five new oral vocabulary words. We then practiced asking and answering questions as we read a folktale about how elephants got their trunks. Next, we blended and read long a: ai, ay words. That was followed by learning our new sight words and two vocabulary words. We finished the morning by reading a folktale titled A Tail of a Tale

This afternoon in Language Arts we learned how to use the verbs was and were in sentences. We also wrote the topic sentence in our paragraph on why we love camping. 

In Math class, we learned how to make a bar graph. First we tallied the data. Then we used that data to make a graph. Making the graph was the easy part; we will continue to work on tallying. 

Tomorrow is our soup collection for the food pantry. We will also have some older students visit us to read us a story. The fun and celebration continues! Good night!
