Happy Easter!

We completed our stations of cross booklet just in time for Easter! It’s so nice to have this long weekend to celebrate and spend time with family and friends. If you happen to have an extra box of kleenex around and your family is well, would you consider donating it to our classroom? Cold and flu season is gone, but allergy season is upon us. Thank you to anyone who helps out our noses! Next week will be spirit week to lead up to Race for Education on Friday! These are the themes students may wear each day:
Tuesday: Crazy hair/mustache day
Wednesday: Crazy sock day
Thursday: Crazy hat day
Friday: Race for Education Dress Down Day

Enjoy your Easter!!

The thunder and lightning wasn’t the only boom heard this week! We read a story about a girl named Amanda in “Boom Town” who helped the town grow by starting a pie business and encouraging others to build businesses. This story fit perfectly with what students learned about in Junior Achievement, entrepreneurs. Thank you to all the volunteers I’ve received for our first annual Mission Day on Thursday, May 2nd. If you would still like to volunteer I think we could use some more, just reply to this email if you can help us out! Our class is off to a good start in reciting the Apostles Creed! Four students have successfully recited the memorized prayer ahead of the May 10th deadline. If your child needs another copy to study at home let me know as everyone is required by the Archdiocese to have it memorized. Lastly, we talked a lot about respect today and wrote out ways to show respect in the classroom and everyday. Ask you child what respect means to them! Stay warm and don’t blow away during this blustery spring weekend!

Hello April!

We may have said farewell to keyboarding and Winn Dixie this week, but we said a grand hello to April! There are so many things to still look forward to this month. We are continuing to enjoy our weekly Handwriting Camp as well as Junior Achievement. We tested the friction of a toy car on different surfaces, and even heard a recording of Alexander Graham Bell’s true voice while studying inventors in Social Studies. The STAR Reading test was taken by our class this week and the STAR Math will come next week. It’s great to see the growth students have made throughout the year. May you have a relaxing weekend!
