Hi Parents- 

I just updated the Parent's Page and lost the update.  If you did receive it and get it again, my apologies!  

This month we will be learning:

Religion - Jesus in our lives through the sacraments and Virtues in Practice - St. John Vianney.

Math - Interpret and organize data into categories using a picture graph and tally chart.  Please continue to work with your child on his/her math facts!

English - Beyond My World - How do the seasons affect us?  Long o spelled oa, ow, oe; adverbs and informational text.

Spelling words:  boat, coat, doe, grow, snow, toast, toe, would, yellow, about, buy, people, write

Handwriting - We are continuing to work on improving our skills, focusing on correct letter formation and placement.

Social Studies - Learn about the market, decision-making, technology and invention, and life around the world.

Science - Technology All Around Us - how do engineers work/solve problems, what materials make up objects, and how they can be sorted.

Miscellaneous

-We have scheduled a field trip with the third grade to Barstow's Farm in Hadley on May 2nd; however, we are waiting on confirmation from the bus company.  This is a tedious process.  Once we receive confirmation, we will relay field trip information to all families.  Please be patient!

-Please make sure your child comes to school daily with a coat/jacket.  The April weather is very unpredictable and we go outside daily unless it is raining.

-Please make sure to sign your child's communication sheet in the folder daily.  This lets me know that the information contained has been looked at/read.  Also, please remove papers sent home from the folder.  Lots of work goes home almost daily and the papers tend to pile up if not removed.  Thanks for your help in this matter!

April Events

Please reference the email sent out by Mrs. Fedora on Sunday, April 21.

That's all for now!  Have a great evening!  Thank you for all that you do for our class and school!
