Happy Catholic School's Week!

Greetings! I hope everyone had a marvelous Monday. I apologize for this post being a day late; I had no Internet at my house last night. 

This week is Catholic School's week. Each day we will be doing something to honor Catholic schools. Today we prayed for vocations and gave thanks for all of the priests who support Catholic education. We had a prayer service with Msgr. Lockard and the local priests. 

We began our week with Religion class. Today we wrapped up our chapter on how the Holy Spirit helped the church to grow. We reviewed how the church began on Pentecost, how the Holy Spirit helped the church grow, and how the Holy Spirit still helps the church today. 

We began a new week of learning in Language Arts. Beginning this week, our daily routine will change. We began by learning all five of our oral vocabulary words. Next, we practiced our comprehension skills as we listened to a folktale about how the elephant got its long nose. Following that, we learned how to blend and read long a words spelled with ai or ay. After that we learned our new sight words and two vocabulary words. We ended our morning by reading A Tale of a Tail, a folktale about how the beaver's tale came to be. 

This afternoon we learned how to use was and were in sentences. We then did some Groundhog Day writing. We wrote about whether or not we want Phil to see his shadow on Saturday. We added a craft to our writing. 

In Math class we began a new chapter on learning; our focus will be on measuring. Today we learned to compare the heights of objects using the words tall/taller and short/shorter. We then compared the length of objects using the terms long/longer and short/shorter. 

Enjoy your day!
