Our first full week in school was a good one! We went to Mass, our specials and worked really hard in class. We read the book called How Full is your Bucket? We learned that a bucket filler is someone who says and does nice things for other people. By doing this we can fill other people's buckets as well as our own! We also started our PBL activity. For this activity we had to decide what the perfect class pet would be. We had to choose a pet and supplies all while sticking to a budget. Next, we will need to persuade Mrs. Major that the pet we chose is best for the class. I am not sure how she will feel about dogs, snakes, rabbits, and fish!
*This Wednesday is Back to School Night. Zoom links will be posted on Google Classroom. There will be one link for the HSA meeting and another link for the classroom sessions.
This week:
Religon-This week we will learn that Jesus gathered many followers to be his disciples. We will also learn about Pentecost and how Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide us and help the Church grow. We will have a chapter 2 test on Friday.
Math-We will add columns of 3 and 4 numbers and subtract numbers from 20 or less.
S.S-On Wednesday we will have a test on lesson 1 which is all about life long ago. Then we will learn that the Native Americans were the first people in America. Spanish settlers came from Florida and the Pilgrims came from England. Both the Spanish and Pilgrims were helped by the Native Americans.
LA-On Tuesday we will have our first LA test. Our test will be on Clark the Shark, the power words, and finding the subject of a sentence. On Wednesday students will get new spelling and power words to go along with our next story called Spoon. We will continue to learn about the features of a fantasy and use specific words to identify the author's purpose for writing. In grammar we will identify subjects and predicates in simple sentences and use correct word order in sentences. Our spelling words will have the short o, u, and e sound in them.
I hope everyone has a great week!
