LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed What's the Matter and Many Kinds of Matter. Both are informational texts. We worked on skills such as decoding words with long o, u, and e, using story vocabulary in context, identifying nouns, decoding words with the suffixes -er and -est, identifying synonyms (words that mean about the same, such as "big" and "large,") and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: Students made arrays with equal rows or equal columns to solve addition problems, and modeled problems using equations, drawings, and arrays. Next week we will be taking the chapter 2 test.
ROSARY: October is the month of the Rosary. The Rosary is a summary of Christian faith in language and prayers inspired by the Bible. The Rosary calls to mind the most important events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. These events are called mysteries and are divided into four groups: The Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Glorious Mysteries, and the Luminous Mysteries. St. Malachy students will be praying the Rosary during the month of October in religion class. Second graders will pray one decade of the Rosary each day. If your child has a Rosary from home that he/she would like to bring to school for this, he/she may do so.
HOMECOMING: Tomorrow, September 26 is Creston's homecoming. It is also a Spirit Day. Students can pay $1.00 to wear sweatpants or a hat to school if they wish. They can also show their support for the Creston Panthers by wearing red and/or black. School will dismiss at 12:10. Lunch will be provided. The homecoming parade will begin at 1:30.
FIELD TRIP: Students in grades K-2 will be taking a field trip to Thompson's Fall Festival on Thursday, October 9. Please look for a note in today's take home folder for more information.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: School will not be in session on Monday, October 6 due to teacher professional development.
