Week of January 28

     This week is Catholic Schools Week and we will be doing various activities to celebrate catholic schools, our students, parents, and reaching out to the community around us.  The following is our schedule of activities for this week:
  • Monday: Teacher Appreciation and Buddy Day - Students will get together with their 7th grade buddies

     In religion this week we will talk about how Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us.

     In Superkids this week we will be working with contractions and compound words.  We will be doing various activities using the Smartboard as well as other hands on things in order to learn how to spell these words as well as review our other word patterns.  Students will also continue with the writing process and begin the next steps of drafting and revising their problem/solution stories that they planned last week.

     In Math this week we will be working more with the doubles plus one facts as well as adding two digit numbers without regrouping.  We will be using our Smart board doing our daily fact practice to help challenge us to remember the answers quicker each time helping us to become more fluent with our facts.

     For Science and Social Studies we are continuing with our Penguin theme unit.  This week we will be talking about what penguins eat, predators, how they move, penguin chicks, and how they care for their babies.  Students will be continuing to read our penguin books and we will be adding to our penguin books.  We will also be doing some interactive activities using our Smart board to aid us in our learning.

     What we will be learning about in the next couple of weeks:
  • Groundhog Day
  • 100th Day
  • Magnets
  • Solar System
