Notices for Feb. 21 to 25

 Dear Parents,

        Please make sure that you check Friday's homework assignment on google classroom in which I explained the FIVE leveled readers that all students are required to read at home before Feb. 28th. Six students only were assigned to read FIVE chapters from the decodable reader. Starting this Thursday I will begin choosing students to read aloud to the class and be given a grade for their oral reading.  We will also be working on additional reading comprehension exercises.

     This week we will be finishing Unit 2 in Reading so this involves taking the Selection Test, as well as a Performance-Based Writing Test, and a Unit 2 Reading Comprehension Test.  Please check daily homework assignments for Study Guides for each of these. There will also be a Religion Quiz on Wed. on Chapter 15.  This Thursday is National Tortilla Chip Day and this Friday is National Pistachio Day. Remember that we have gym on Friday.

    Please make sure that students come to school prepared with three sharpened pencils with erasers each day.  Several students have been coming in unprepared for class.

 Dear Parents, 

        As I mentioned on Friday's assignment, on Monday we are celebrating Valentine's Day. Students may wear red clothes and bring in Valentine cards, stickers, or small Valentine candies to share with the class (such as chocolate hearts, red lollipops, etc.) if they wish.  All must be individually wrapped.  On Monday morning I will be away from class for a one hour Grade Level zoom meeting I am required to attend.  On Thursday we are celebrating 100 days of school!  Students may dress up as an elderly person if they wish on that day.  

        There will be several tests this week in Math, Social Studies, Science, and Spelling so please make sure that you refer to the study guides I provided for each on google classroom on Friday's assignment and again during the week.

Notices for Jan. 31 to Feb. 4

 Dear Parents,

           God willing, I hope to be back this week.  This week's lesson plan might need some adjusting as I find out whatever assignments or quizzes were not done during my absence.  I plan to reschedule in this week and the next any of those tests so please review whatever study guides I have  already posted. I will give you at least one day advance notice and repost the study guide before any of these tests.  

           This week I plan to give the End of Module 2 Math Test,  the Reading Tests on The Recess Queen and  Far from Home, and the Spelling quiz on last week's words. 

             This Thursday is the feast of St. Blaise so we will have Mass at 9:00 and all children will have their throats blessed.  This Friday classes will have 12:00 dismissal due to our monthly faculty meeting.  

Lesson Plan for Jan. 31 to Feb. 4

 Dear Parents,    

            Hoping to be with you soon, God willing.   This week students will be working on Chapter 8 in Religion and learning about the meaning of The Lord's Prayer.  In Reading they are working on the book Far From Home  which has been assigned on google classroom for viewing. In Math students will be starting Module 3 which covers measuring. They will still be using the same workbooks for both class and home assignments.  Each student will need one plastic or wooden ruler that measures both inches (in.) and centimeters (cm.) Make sure ruler is marked cm NOT mm. In Social Studies students have been assigned videos on Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington to watch and discuss this week. Students can look forward to Chocolate Cake Day on Thursday.  Best wishes.
