Week of 1/24

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,

The kids have been doing really well with memorizing the long vowel patterns and spelling words. I know these words are harder and trickier but the kids have been finding the different patterns we have learned so far everywhere! We have another full we before Catholic Schools Week starts on Sunday. Look below for an outline of what to expect! Here are the reminders for the week:

- If you have not been a Mystery Reader yet, please be sure to sign up this week! I think the month of May and June still need some slots to be filled.

- We will have a math test on 10 more/less and 1 more/less on Tuesday. A review will be sent home for homework tonight.

- If you would like to send in rosary beads for your child, please do so. We will start saying a decade of the rosary every Friday as a class.

- We will have a Religion test on Chapter 9 on Friday. A study guide was sent home today.

- You can send in your MLK Bags of Service this and next week and any shampoo donations. Thank you!

- Catholic Schools Week begins at Mass on Sunday! Be on the look out for an email with more detailed information about the Virtual Talent Show, SKS Spirit Family Pics and Art Activity!
