Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Week 35!

In math this week we looked at 2D shapes and 3D objects.  We started out using geoboards to create 2D shapes.


We did a scavenger hunt throughout the school to find 2D shapes.  Can you identify the shapes we found in the pictures?




 Then we moved onto using 2D shapes to create pictures.
After that we explored 3D objects.


Then we created rocket ships with 3D objects.





Finally, we created our own 3D objects using toothpicks and clay.



During DPA we had some fun with the parachutes.  There were lots of smiling rosy cheeked fit kids at the end of these games!

In LA we worked on our writing skills using nouns, adjectives and verbs to make our sentences especially interesting for our readers.  We started off this lesson with a directed drawing to get our brains warmed up with writing ideas.
We also worked on the "ng" sound and learned a new song.
We worked on our stamina again this week and we are now at just over 13 minutes!
We ended our week, and the month of Mary, with a beautiful Rosary liturgy.  

Reading Logs will continue to be sent home each evening to be signed.  However, all students will be asked to read and record books from home.  No classroom home reading books will be taken home for the month of June since a classroom inventory will be taking place throughout the month.  Thank you for all your support with the home reading program this year.  Please continue to encourage your child to enjoy reading every day with books from home.
