This has been a very busy week. Mass was on Monday, instead of Wednesday. Today students had a rehearsal for the concert on Friday night.
We are busy measuring in math and writing in language. We have begun our "Christmas Around the World". Students will rotate through the 2nd grade classrooms. they will visit 6 countries over the next week. Today we visited Mexico and read about the Legend of the Poinsettia. Then they wrote about the poinsettia tradition and made a poinsettia ornament.
Don't forget to bring in your toys for Toy Drive.

There was some excitement here at St. John XXIII. There was a big leak in the 3rd grade classrooms. The 3rd graders will be displaced until the roof is fixed. Say a prayer for them as they will need to make some transitions as they learn in the rooms at the church.
In religion students worked on the Symbols of the Holy Spirit as the related to Baptism and the other Sacraments. They also worked on the parables Jesus told about the Kingdom of Heaven.
In math, students reviewed multiplication and division.
In language, students were introduced to finding important ideas in a story and the making a summary. They also reviewed digraphs in phonics.
They also make shoes for St. Nicholas Day.

Students were exceptionally well-behaved during Mass today.
We began a new story called, "Super Croc". The vocabulary is pretty challenging as is the phonics for this week. In phonics, we reviewed the digraphs wh, th, ch, and sh. We also practiced summarizing the important details of the story. Students are also writing a personal narrative about the 2nd grade's School Supplies Drive and how they worked as a team.
In math, we reviewed some story problems and put them in our math journal.

Today students worked on using number bonds for multiplication and division fact families.
They also took a time test. They seem to be improving on these.
In language, students practiced adding words in word families. Then they added suffixes to some of these words. They also practiced contractions. Students also worked on the netbooks in Powerpoint and Word.
In religion, we talked about when Jesus left the desert and was baptized by John the Baptist. Then we discussed the two parables that Jesus told: "The Mustard Seed" and "The Buried Treasure". We also wrote an acrostic poem naming the Apostles. We also talked about how material gifts get smaller and smaller as they are shared and how spiritual gifts grow and grow and never get smaller as they are shared.
Students went to PE and had art today.

Monday
This morning we had the Advent wreaths blessed by Fr. Pete and Deacon Al.
Students made their own Advent wreaths and took them home.
Students went to music and then they were able to use the netbooks to take an online science survey for Dr. Ocshner. This took a little bit of time but the students completed it by themselves.
In math, students learned to multiply by 10. They will now be accountable to learn the 2s, 5s, and 10s times tables, along with 1s and 0s. We will review division tomorrow and then we will be working on measurement.
