Spelling this week

We are moving at a good pace, but learning many new concepts.

We have been working on writing good sentences- The "3" w's - A sentence that has a who, what, and a where.  For example, Jon rode a bus to school.  Please encourage such sentences when writing their spelling sentences for homework.

In math we are working on counting on many seem to struggle with this concept.  

1. They must know how to count on by 5s, 10s, and 25 s.  ( nickels, dimes, and quarters) 

2.  Practice counting real money- all kids like this. 

In religion, we are learning about the parts of the mass.  And discussing Lent, which is coming up, starting on Ash Wednesday with our Mass next Wednesday, March 5 th.  

***** a reminder about homework and planners:  planners MUST be signed daily, including Fridays.  Some homework , like reading their reading worksheets ( on some Mondays ) and their readers ( in the envelopes) must too be signed. If they are not signed, they will have to sit out.  When your child does their homework and leaves it home for example, they will have to do the assignment at recess.  Thank you for your support.  This is the beginning step to learning responsibility.  :). ALSO. All progress reports and report cards must be returned signed on the day they return.  I have to keep such notes for my records.  Thanks for your help in this as well.
