We went to Church today for the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Tomorrow we'll learn about Juan Diego and see the story on video. Friday is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, but we'll also talk about Saint Lucy whose feast day is Saturday, the 13th. We continue to work on our Advent Wreaths, calendars, and cactus pictures. Students also have a manger they are working on. When they do something nice for someone they can add straw and hope to have it filled for Baby Jesus by Christmas. This same idea is used to color flowers on their Christmas cactus.
I still need permission slips for Court Manor and drivers for 5 kids. Also, the gift exchange slips as well as the Christmas Eve liturgy slips. Please send them in tomorrow. Thanks!
We will not be having spelling words to study as we will be trying out the new lessons this week. The test will be a cloze story word test. This means students will have a paper with blanks in the story. We read the story aloud including the test words, and the kids will fill them in. This spelling program, if I understand it correctly, has an expectation of words kids should already know. Various skills are practiced throughout the week which builds on the skills.
Our reading skills this week include words with AI, and AY as well as compound words. We've practiced several of these today. We'll be reading the story " A Trip to the Firehouse". If you'd like your children to do the spelling pages that go with the story, you may do so. They will not be required this week. These would be pages 167-169.
Remember to start getting gifts for our Baby Jesus Party which is a week from Wednesday! They are unwrapped, and the list was sent home earlier.
We will have liturgy on Wednesday this week as usual.
Remember to have your child here no later than 6:10 on Thursday for the Christmas program.
