Today was a nice day! We had liturgy, and I was happy to see we had more of our fourth grade parents attending. Parents are always a welcome addition. I think the children's liturgies are so special, and our priests are so great with our kids! Fr. Henry had the patience of a saint today with all of the answers of "Don't be mean to..." They could have gone on forever! :-). By the way, our next liturgy will be with the 7th graders on Halloween. There will also be an All Saints Day liturgy on Nov. 1st.
Tomorrow is the feast of St. Luke. I will read about him to the kids. Maybe you could ask your child about him. You might learn something new about him yourselves.
We worked on ordinal numbers as well numbers "just before, just after, and between" in Math today. They did really well on them. The last Math test wasn't as good as some of the others, so we'll need to do some reviewing.
This week we are studying the CVCe words. This means consonant, vowel, consonant, final e words. These are long vowel sounds . Words such as Pete, rule, and note are examples of this. We also are studying hard and soft g sounds. The soft g sounds like a j such as in gym, and the hard g is like the g in give.
In Social Studies, we practiced map skills and had a map of the U.S. with the capitals. We talked about who went where in the U. S. I was surprised at how many kids have been farther than Minnesota and Michigan! We will be learning more about our community.
We are learning about nonliving and living things in Science. My kids took paper and clipboards outside to draw things they saw and then decide if they belong to living or nonliving categories. Of course, that's just when it decided to rain!
Many of us are looking forward to Alex's mom's wedding this weekend! It's great to have such a joyful event to look forward to.
Have a great day!
