springtime. We will also do a St. Patrick's Day project on Wednesday.
Religion: This week we will learn that Jesus lives God's love. We will also
learn about St. Patrick. We will continue our study of Lent.
Phonics/Reading: We will continue with our reading groups this week. We will
work on our sight words, as well as sounding out. As the reading skills
become more difficult it is important to practice reading at home with your
child. Please make sure you are practicing the sight words at home with your
child.
Word of the week: has
Writing: We will be doing our writing journals this week. The children are
gaining confidence each day in writing. It is a very exciting time for our
young writers.
Math: We will continue our unit on money. We will learn about the dime and
quarter. Money can be a difficult topic for children to learn. The best way
is for them to practice counting money in real life situations. We will also
do some St. Patrick's Day related math activities.
