HAPPY EASTER!!

We are all ready for our Easter break and hoping for nice weather! This week we just did some review and extra activities for Religion since it is Holy Week. Today we had a Northland student do a lesson on sentences so she could be observed by her professor. The kids were really good - so I gave them 5 marbles.

Before I forget: FIRST COMMUNION PRACTICE WILL BE ON APRIL 23 AT 5:30 so please mark your calendars as it's important that at least one parent be there with your child.

Next week we'll be reading Thunder Cake. The new words are: air, child, heavy, hour. We will learn ing endings with double consonants (shopping), and silent consonants gh, kn, and b.

We did a one minute Math Facts test today. I was pretty disappointed in the amount of problems they did. It was only for the fact family 2+1, 1+2, 3-1, and 3-2. They NEED to know the facts through 18. PLEASE practice with your child every night. Mix them up rather than learn them 1+2, 1+3 etc. Thanks!

Several of the kids have completed their March books so they are now "published authors". We put them in the cloth covered books with a title, dedication, and author page with their picture on it. They enjoyed having these in print and sharing with the class.

We will be going to MMC in May for the second grade visit. It's a terrific field trip! I will be looking for drivers again :-)

Have a blessed and joyful Easter!
