"Lent is like springtime. It's a time to grow in God's love. We pray and do good deeds."
We continue to color in "hearts of kindness" when we are caught doing a good deed. I hope that you are encouraging your child to record good deeds done at home.
We have Stations of the Cross booklets which we are using to follow Jesus's journey to Calvary.
We'll attend 8:00 Mass on Friday with our buddies. Your child can leave his/her backpack in the gym and meet us in church. Please join us if you can.
We'll discuss what adventures an animal might have and focus on sequence as we read One Little Mouse. We'll work on consonant blends . When some consonant sounds are together they each say their own sound: eg. ck, fl, pl, and sl; HF Words: one, two, three, four, and five. I hope you are reading for the Read Aloud.
We'll finish up our chapter on Number Patterns: counting by 2's, 5's, 10's, and odd/even numbers. Our next chapter will be Money and Time. Our buddies will guide us in a variety of activities as we estimate weight, volume, area, and capacity on "Estimation Day".
In honor of St. Patrick we'll enjoy some healthy "green" snacks. We'll count and graph rainbow Skittles.
Fourth grade is sponsoring a Tag Day. Wear green on St. Patrick's Day! Cost: $2.00
"Alexandra's Clean Up Parade", presented by a speaker from Passaic Utilities, will teach us the importance of taking care of litter.
