LANGUAGE ARTS:  This week we read and discussed Cloudette and Get Ready for WeatherCloudette is a fantasy while Get Ready for Weather is an informational text.  We worked on skills such as decoding words with the prefixes "un," "dis," and "re," identifying correct subject-verb agreement in sentences,  spelling words with the hard and soft sound of /c/ as in "cage" and "cent" and /g/ as in "goat" and "giant," using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.

MATH:  We have been telling and writing time to the nearest 5 minutes, saying the time in different ways such as "quarter past," "half past," and "quarter to," and stating if the time is happening in the A.M. or P.M.

FIRST EUCHARIST:  There will be a parent/student meeting after the 9:00 A.M. Mass on Sunday, February 4 for those who have children making their First Eucharist in May.

VALENTINES:  Since Valentine's Day falls on Ash Wednesday this year, we will have our valentine exchange on Friday, February 9.  Your child may bring valentines to school on or before that day.

SCIENCE:  Students learned about ecologists.  They are scientists that study how plants, animals, and people interact in an environment.  They conduct research on how changes to habitats impacts the plants and animals who live there.

GRANDPARENT/SPECIAL GUEST DAY:  Tomorrow, February 2 is "Grandparent or Special Guest Day/Dress Up Day" at St. Malachy School.  Please have your child's grandparent or special guest pick your child up at the school at 1:00 and go to Holy Spirit Church for Mass at 1:30.
