Greetings on this snowy April day. I just keep thinking to myself that someday the warm weather will stick around. This cold air will eventually leave. Hopefully that someday is tomorrow.
In Religion class today we talked about the sacrament of Penance. We talked about how this is the sacrament in which we receive God's forgiveness. We briefly looked at the sacrament, but the students will learn more in depth knowledge next year as the prepare to make their First Penance.
Language Arts was full of learning today. We began by answering questions using our oral vocabulary words. Then we used our letter tiles to spell and read words with the diphthongs oi and oy. Following that we learned how to blend and read final stable syllable words, also known as C+le words. We ended our morning by using our sight words and vocabulary words in sentences.
Our afternoon Language Arts began with us rereading The Joy of a Ship. Afterwards, we sequenced the events in the story, identified the main idea and key details, and wrote examples of cause and effect found in the story. Next, we read our decodable reader. Following that we worked with prepositions. Students worked in pairs to write sentences using prepositional phrases. We ended the day by beginning our narrative writing unit. Today we read Owl Moon and illustrated events in the beginning, middle, and end of the story. We will use our illustrations to help us write a narrative paragraph.
In Math class today we reviewed solving addition and subtraction problems mentally. Tomorrow we will take a test on these skills.
Just a reminder that tomorrow will be an early dismissal day. Students will be dismissed at noon. We will also have a special Mass tomorrow. Please join us at 9:00.
