Story of the week:Shrinking Mouse
Please practice reading each night at home. This will help your child’s progress. We are working hard on comprehension and strategies to use on unknown words.

Writing-We are reading from the New Testament. We are learning about Jesus’ life as he began teaching.We will work on a book we are making called “My Country Book” .

Math- We are working on telling time to the hour and half hour.

Religion-We are learning about the Sacrament of Baptism and the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

Science- We will learn why soil is important, and we will practice for our American Heritage Program. A copy of your child’s part will come home on Monday.
