Please take a look at this week's highlights:
Spelling/Vocabulary: Definitions due on Wednesday PSIA Words #281 to 300. Test Friday.
Reading: Yesterday was a big day for our 3rd and 4th graders! In celebration of National Poetry Month, students took center stage to read and recite poetry in front of an audience. They all did a wonderful job! They were so brave and confident, and I am so proud of them. This performance consisted of two grades (just like a major grade in a test or a project): stage performance (the act of getting up on stage and getting through the performance itself) and poetry interpretation. A rubric sheet with a list of requirements are sent home today with constructive criticism written on paper. Please read and discuss with your child that being on stage alone to perform is accomplishment enough, and that they will have more opportunities to do presentations like these in the following years. Discuss comments written by teacher and reinforce this lesson as a learning experience. Good job, 3rd graders!
English: More grammar drills on adjectives: adjectives that compare and avoiding incorrect comparisons (good, better, best).
Math: Whole group instruction: More fraction activities using fraction tiles and strips in class to demonstrate understanding of equivalent fractions and comparing fractions.
Self-directed and one-on-one instruction: 2 topics mastered per week every night is recommended on ALEKS MyPie. Review topics such as multiplication and regrouping as well as fractions.
Religion: Tomorrow we will participate in an all-school celebration of the May Crowning. Students may bring a fresh flower to offer and a rosary. Students may also choose to wear their Sunday best. No denim or casual tees. Appropriate church attire suggestion:
- Boys should wear collared shirts
- Girls must have their shoulders covered and skirts should be of modest length.
- Clothes and shoes should be comfortable for PE/and recess.
- Students who do not follow the clothing guidelines will not be able to participate.
Notes/Reminder:
1. Friday, May 4th is noon dismissal
2. No school on Monday, May 7th.
3. I am pleased to announce the release of my second children's bok Terrible Trevor at the end of this month. More information in the previous blog posted. I have shared these stories to your children in the past, and I am so excited to show them how the development of creativity and hard work can breathe new life. I hope you can support me in this big moment! Details to follow.
