Hello all!
My apologies for not updating sooner, but we are back! here is what we have to look forward to this week:
Math: We have begun a unit on geometry and this past week we focused on measuring and classifying angles. This week we will be looking at polygons, specifically quadrilaterals and triangles, and classifying them by their attributes.
We are also starting a "number ninjas" program. Kids will receive a different colored belt as they move through the different levels of multiplication. Please practice at home!
Literacy: We are focusing on inferencing in reading. We are trying to look deeper at a text to figure out the author's meaning. Please read aloud with your children at home and discuss the meaning behind what you read. The Harry Potter, Hunger Games and City of Ember series are a few suggestions for you. We are focusing on including detail in our writing to paint a picture for our reader. If we can include details, then we can visualize what we are reading better!

Science: This week we will be building bridges to look deeper at how forces can affect structures, and designing and testing homemade airplanes to better understand the 4 forces of flight.
Religion: We are looking at the different types of prayer and how we can speak to God in the best way that individually suits us.
Arts: We are continuing to explore different themes in drama. We have also started an extra curricular dance team that ill be competing May 11th! More details to follow. Not all classmates are part of this as some were not interested.
Phys-Ed: We continue the beep test and various fitness exercises along with games of low organization.
NOTES:
Please check agendas nightly. Many students are "forgetting' agendas at home.
The class will be participating in a Stations of the Cross presentation for the school on Holy Thursday
Some of our students participated in a lovely rendition of Stations of the Cross at the Rosary Chapel the Friday before March Break. More pictures to come!
