LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed Working With Others and Gingerbread for Liberty. Working With Others is an informational text while Gingerbread for Liberty is a biography about a baker who lived during the Revolutionary War. We worked on skills such as decoding words with double final consonants, identifying action verbs in the present and past tense, decoding words with inflected endings "ed" and "ing," and learning ten new high-frequency words.
RECONCILIATION: Thank you for sending your child's First Reconciliation book to school on Monday. We discussed chapter 3 in class. Please complete chapter four and return the book to school on Monday, October 23. We will be discussing chapter four in class next week.
- Also, there is a parent/student session at 1:00 P.M. on Sunday, October 29 in the church basement for those who are making their First Reconciliation in December.
MATH: This week students added using place value and partial sums. They also used the standard algorithm to add two-digit numbers.
SCIENCE: We discussed how matter can change. Some of those changes are reversible, such as freezing and melting, while others are irreversible, such as cooking or burning.
SPIRIT DAY: Tomorrow, October 20 will be a Spirit Day at St. Malachy. Students can pay $1.00 to wear sweatpants or a hat to school if they wish. They money raised helps those in need in our local community.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES: Parent/teacher conferences are quickly approaching. Conferences will take place on Monday, October 30, Tuesday, October 31, Wednesday, November 1, and Thursday, November 2. An email was sent out from the school last week to schedule a conference time. If you did not receive the email or have questions about signing up, please contact Mrs. Sanchez in the school office. I look forward to visiting with you about your child's progress!
