Holy Week 2014

Good evening! I hope that you have a blessed Holy Week and enjoy your Easter break. As a reminder we will have no homework this week, which includes our weekly spelling test. There is no school Friday or Monday of next week.

Literacy- 

This week we are reading a story called "A Weed is a Flower." This is the biography of George Washington Carver. We are talking about where creative ideas come from. 
We are also talking about fact and opinion. We are learning the words excel, process, research, opportunity, accomplish, original, scientist and unusual. We will also be using comparative endings -er and -est. 
We are going to be doing a lot of writing about Holy Week.

Religion-

    We have been having fabulous discussion about Jesus in the Eucharist. This Holy Week has been wonderful so far and we are going to continue to focus on the journey of Christ during this week. We have also been talking about First Communion. 

We will be in charge of mass on April 30th, I will be sending home what your child will be helping with during mass later this week. 

Math-
  
We completed our unit on addition and subtraction and have moved into geometry. Your kids are loving it so far and they are all excelling. 

Social Studies/Science-

We have one more topic to discuss on Westward Expansion and then we will be moving into simple machines.  


Spelling-

We will be working with -er and -est endings, however there will be no spelling test this week. We will resume spelling tests next week.
