Week of 1/18

 

Last week in Social Studies we talked about the past, present, and future. We learned the importance

 of placing events in history and how to read a timeline. Room 4 made their own "class timeline" of events that have happened from September-January. The class took turns reading their events and placing them in the correct place on the board. It was fun to see what events stuck out in the kids memories!

Dear Parents,

I hope you had a nice weekend! Today we talked about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and why he is an important part of history and a great role model! The kids did great completing homework last week. Each week they should be getting more independent with completing it! Here are your reminders for the week:

- The MLK Bags are Service can be returned to school next week! First grade has been asked to donate shampoo as well. If you would like to donate some, you can send it in anytime this or next week! Thank you!

- Our virtual Monthly Mass will be this Thursday at 9:00 am. Please join us! Virtual students do not need to sign on until 10:30 am on mass days!

- We will have a reading and spelling test this Friday on the story and words for "Seasons".
