Lively little zoo denizens lightened up our lives and lifted up our spirits as we laughed at their sounds and longed for it to last longer, but alas it’
time to go back to the normal routine of learning…. Lo and behold it’s Ll week!
It is time to return to normalcy. (Whatever that may be.)
We had a fun filled Catholic Schools Week. It was wonderful meeting so many family members. I am positive you are as proud of our children as I. Next Friday we will perform again for the entire school. If anyone missed it or wishes to see again, you are welcomed to come.
The sight words this week are ….love…what…six…seven.
The word family is “in”.. win, tin, spin, tin, etc
The masterpiece of the week is Lobster Trap and Fishtails by Philadelphia’s own- Alexander Calder. This is our first mobile and a perfect example of “movable art.”
Our German fact is about lederhosen-- short leather pants worn on special occasions by boys and men. Girls wear a traditional dress called a dirndl (durn-dul)
Our fairy tale is Little Red Cap, the Grimm’s version of Little Red Riding Hood.
Our German word is sweetheart…schatz
We started our new book – Volume 2- in ELA. We will be working on “describing words”. We will be trying to incorporate more of these types of words into our writing.
We also started Volume 2 in Math. Our first chapter focuses on numbers through 30 and estimation. Counting by tens has been conquered, our fives are a little shaky but we will keep practicing them.
The month of February celebrates many things, the most important one is love. We will be discussing Jesus’ love for us and continue talking about His parables and miracles. We will learn about the two greatest commandments Jesus taught and continue to apply them to our everyday life.
February also brings Black History Month, leap year and Lent. (Great topics, coming up soon.)
Also this month is our field trip to the Audubon Society. We will be able to see how maple syrup is taken from the trees and how candy is made. Permission slips and lots more information will be coming home shortly.
