We began Lent last week with Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday, Fr. Rudy came by our classroom and distributed ashed. The children were receptive of the ashes, but some were surprisingly afraid. Our class religion focus for the next few weeks will be Lent and family. Please talk with your child about Lent - prayer, fasting, and alms-giving.
The Second Trimester is coming to a close this Friday. I will be assessing your children this week and next week and will provide more feedback on the SLAs. Overall, I am very proud of your children. Almost all the students know all 52 letter characters and numbers 0-10. I will ask your child to orally recite the following prayers: Sign of the Cross (and make the sign), Glory Be, and the Our Father.
My goal for the Third Trimester is to focus on writing letters, numbers, beginning and ending sounds, and reading (sight words). I will also be continuing the addition concept but also introduce subtraction.
This week's Goals:
Theme - Plants
Religion: Lenten Season Lesson
Math: Number 18, counting to 30 and to 100; ten frames, addition
English/Language: Letter Gg and Hh; Storys about Plants
Science: Plant Life
Looking Ahead:
In case you want to look through your pantry for donations over the weekend, next Wednesday is the HOPE food drive.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Paragas
