Hello Everyone! I hope you have had a great Weekend

We will be going to the HOLIDAY SHOP to browse ONLY on Monday. Please talk with your child Monday night about the list that they wrote during their visit. We will return to the HOLIDAY SHOP on Tuesday to make purchases. If these items are gifts please send a list of the people they are for so that the helpers can spell the names correctly and get the correct name on the gift.
Here’s what we will be doing in class this week:
Religion: This week we will talk about the meaning behind second week of Advent “PEACE”. The class will discuss ways we can help to encourage PEACE in the world today. We will also continue learning about the terms Second coming and Stay Awake as they apply to Jesus coming again. As a class we will create list of ways to stay awake (in faith) and show discipleship for the 2nd coming. The school will be attending 8:00 am Mass on Thursday to celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Math: This week the class will be introduced to the math strategy of division. During the week the students will seperate items into equal groups, learn the meaning of the terms: dividend (larger number AKA: Product), divisor (smaller number AKA: Factor), & Quotient (answer to the division problem AKA: Factor). They will see that division and subtraction are similar.
Science: The students will learn about the terms: variable and force as they apply to an experiment we will be doing during this unit.
Reading; This week we will be reading an informational text about “Caribou: the real Reindeer”
Phonics: The class will start the FOURTH unit in our Phonics cirriculum by learning about contractions and how to change a word that ends in “Y” to it’s PLURAL form by adding either-s or by changing the Y to and I and then adding -es.
