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.
MATH: We wrapped up our chapter over subtracting numbers within 1,000 by recording three-digit subtraction using the standard algorithm with possible regrouping of both tens and hundreds, and explaining why subtraction strategies work using models, place value, and mental math. We will begin a new chapter over measuring length next week.
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.
HANDWRITING: Students practiced writing the uppercase cursive C and E. They also reviewed the uppercase cursive A, O, and D.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION: School will not be in session tomorrow, April 3 since it is Good Friday. School will also not be in session on Monday, April 13 due to teacher professional development.
SPIRIT DAY: Next Friday, April 10 is a Spirit Day at St. Malachy. Students can pay $1.00 to wear sweatpants or a hat to school if they wish. They money raised will help those in need in our local community.
