This Week in 5/6R

This week we were "cupid crazy!"  We had so much fun in the spirit of Valentine's Day!  We spent some time noticing each other's inner beauty, and then had an "inner beauty" fashion show where each student walked the "red carpet" while announcers announced the "outfits" each student wore, for example:  "Here is Bella, showcasing just what kindness, compassion towards cats, and a good listener look like!  Way to go Bella!" 

We also made Valentine cards and bracelets for people that use the facilities at "Street Help."  In the words of one of our students, "everyone deserves a cupid."  The kids were very excited to give of their time and crafting talents to someone who could use a hug.

This week we will be tackling the following curriculum concepts:

Math:  Rounding, adding and subtracting decimals

Reading:  Summarizing non-fiction articles

Writing:  Word Study is back this week along with writing from different points of view.

Science:  The properties of air and different types of force continue to be explored

Religion:  We will be looking at how to carry out Jesus' message of love and forgiveness in the community.

Arts:  We will begin to look at different rhythms and tempos in music

Notes:  Please check your child's agenda daily.  I write in each agenda if a student has not completed their work or there is an issue at school that requires attention.  The agenda is so important for communication between home and school.

JKSK registration is Wednesday from 5 to 7

Hopefully you were able to enjoy your family day with the ones you love!
