Dear Parents,
This week we have only three days of school. There is no school Thurs., Fri., and Mon. Two Reading tests are scheduled for this week. Please consult google classroom. The next set of five leveled readers which is on plant growth has been assigned and will be available from May 23 to June 3. A new set of five decodable books has also been assigned. Please make sure your children do these assignments.
On Wed. all students will be attending a prayer service for those receiving Confirmation. Students should DRESS UP!!!!! No jeans allowed. It is scheduled for 11:00.
Last Friday Progress Reports were sent home along with a listing of recorded work your children have been doing on Edgenuity either in class or at home. Lines in red indicate work not done.
As your children may have mentioned, at least twelve butterflies so far that your children helped rear are fluttering around in our sanctuary and sipping from orange juice soaked cotton balls. Besides observing them, your children have done the following:
1. watched and discussed several videos on the butterfly life cycle2. read passages based on the topic and responded to follow-up questions,
3. completed two sets of worksheets based on butterfly activities to learn related vocabulary terms
4. practiced drawing and coloring their symmetrical wing patterns
5. and finally responded to 18 check up questions.
Of course, after the break they can look forward to TWO Butterfly Quizzes. There will also be a Social Studies Quiz based on Earth Day. Study guides for each of these quizzes will be available on google classroom by May 27th in case you want an early start.
