LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed Don't Touch Me. This informational text is about how plants have many ways of defending themselves from hungry animals. Some of their defenses can hurt you, sting you, or make you itch if you get too close, so we must be careful about touching plants we don't recognize. We worked on skills such as decoding words with /au,/ /aw,/ /o,/ and /al,/ that all make the same sound as short "o" as in sauce, jaw, olive, and talk, identifying and forming irregular action verbs such as say/said, eat/ate, run/ran, hide/hid, sit/sat, tell/told, give/gave, take/took, see/saw, and go/went, decoding words with the prefix "dis," using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
FIRST EUCHARIST: There will be a parent/student session on Sunday, April 14 at 1:00 P.M. in the basement of Holy Spirit Catholic Church for those who will be making their First Eucharist in May.
RELIGION: We have been discussing Easter and the resurrection of Jesus.
GUIDANCE: On April 5 we will discuss lesson 9 called "Family Connections." In this lesson students will identify seasons and times when families celebrate together and explore how families celebrate and help each other.
SCIENCE: Students described what happens during erosion by water and ice. We also discussed how farmers try to prevent or reduce the effects of erosion.
HANDWRITING: This week students learned the uppercase cursive A, O, D, and C.
SPIRIT DAY: Tomorrow, April 5 is a Spirit Day at St. Malachy. Students can pay $1.00 to wear sweatpants or a hat to school. All money raised will go to help those in need in our local community.
