I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving! It was so nice to relax and have a chance to spend time with family and friends.
Advent is marked by the 25 days, or four Sundays, before Christmas. Advent means taking time each day, to prepare for the birth of Jesus, on Christmas Day. 2A will complete random acts of kindness as we count down the 25 days to Christmas with a special Advent calendar.
Mark your calendars! Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades will be presenting their Christmas Show on Monday, Dec. 19th at 7 pm for families in the Cathedral.
Friday, December 9th is the SFCS pep rally. All students will need to wear their gym uniform to school that day.
Dec. 5th – 8th: Santa’s Workshop-More information to follow.
This week-
Religion-This week we will learn that Jesus' teaching to love God and others is the Great Commandment. We will also learn that the Ten Commandments help us to live as God's children. We will have a chapter 9 test on Friday.
Math-We will rewrite and add two-digit addition problems, add three and four addends, and find the needed information to solve a problem.
Science-This week we will focus on weathering and erosion. We will also learn that human beings cause changes in their environment, and these changes can be positive or negative.
LA-This week we will identify the features of realistic fiction as we read Pepita and the Bully. We will also use sequence words like first, next, then, and last to retell a story and we will describe lessons in the story that lead to identifying the theme. In grammar we will identify proper nouns that name animals, people, places, and things and our spelling words all have the consonant digraphs sh, th, ch, and wh. Our spelling test will be on Thursday and our reading test on Friday. This week we will also begin some Christmas writing because Santa needs our help. One of his reindeer friends came down with a cold and is unable to pull Santa's sleigh. Santa needs another reindeer to help deliver gifts so 2A will write letters to him explaining why they would be the perfect reindeer for the job!
Have a good week!
