LANGUAGE ARTS:  This week we read and discussed How to Make a Timeline and The Stories He Tells:  The Story of Joseph Bruchac.  How to Make a Timeline is a procedural text while The Stories He Tells:  The Story of Joseph Bruchac is a biography.  We worked on skills such as decoding words with /er,/ /ir,/ and /ur/ as in "serve," "shirt," and "turn," using commas in a series of nouns or verbs, putting sentences in chronological order, decoding words with /air,/ /are,/ and /ear/ as in "pair," "share," and "bear," decoding words with the prefix "pre," using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.

MATH:  Students used place value patterns to mentally count by 1's and 10's from a given number, skip-counted by 5's, 10's, and 100's using a number line, compared numbers using place value, and compared and wrote a three-digit number that is greater or less than another three-digit number.

GUIDANCE:  On February 20 we will be discussing lesson 6, "Caring for Life."  In this lesson students will identify things that God has created.  We will discuss the Golden Rule as a way to care for others.

LENTEN ACTIVITIES:  Each week throughout the Lenten season students will be getting together with their "Advent Angel" to complete a Lenten activity together.  These activities are planned help students become closer to Jesus during this time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
