Monday

Welcome Back!
We hit the road running today. In religion we reviewed the Sacrament of Penance.
In language arts we began a poetry unit. We read some of Shel Silverstein's poetry and we began a poetry packet by reviewing rhyming words. We also began a new story called Stirring Up Memories. it is a biography about the author. Student's will be doing lots of writing over the next couple of weeks. They will write their own biography, autobiography and their own poems. They are free to write their own poems for the Poetry Contest.
I did send home the forms for that.
In math students are reviewing time, fractions, addition and subtraction.
I also sent home the Book Talk information for the 4th quarter Book Talks. They are due on May 2nd.

Tomorrow is the 2nd grade Retreat with the visit to Canaan in the Desert. It will be a lovely warm day so sweaters may not be needed.  Thank you to all the parents for helping and organizing this for our students.
