LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed a folktale called Abuelo and the Three Bears and discussed a video called Ducklings Jump from Nest. We worked on skills such as decoding words with consonant + /le/ as in "apple," identifying how to form possessives with nouns that name one or more than one, decoding words with the prefix "pre," using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: Students estimated the length of an object by relating the length of an object to a known measurement, estimated measures and used a ruler to measure length and height to the nearest inch, foot, yard, or centimeter.
SCIENCE: We discussed changes caused by wind and water, such as erosion. We looked at windbreaks, using sandbags, and building a dike as ways to prevent wind and water erosion.
RELIGION: We have been discussing Holy Week and the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday). We described what makes each day so special and how we can remember Jesus during the Easter Triduum.
SPRING CLEANING DAY: Next Friday, April 25 is "Spring Cleaning Day" at St. Malachy School. Second graders will be picking up trash and sticks around the school and playground area. Your child may bring a pair of work gloves if he/she wishes. Also, as part of spring cleaning day, students are encouraged to donate $1.00 to the cleaning day. These funds will be used to purchase flowers for the school steps.
