Today we discussed how we are all special and we all bring special gifts to the Church as a part of the Church.
Students were busy most of the day coloring their animal for the play. They were able to color them however they wanted. Many are very creative and really show personality.
In math we started time.
I did not give out homework for tonight. It's a NO homework night.
Tomorrow is bring a dollar and wear any color tennis shoes.

Drive for Oklahoma Tornado victims
Five of our outstanding fifth graders are leading the charge to help the people of Moore, Oklahoma that were affected by this week's tornadoes. Please bring gently used shoes, shorts and shirts to drop off next Thursday, May 30th and Friday, May 31st. These items will then be donated to St. Vincent de Paul. We are also going to raise money for the American Red Cross by having a "Buck-a-Shoe" day this Friday, May 31st. For just a dollar students can wear any color tennis shoes. Thank you for your support of our outstanding students and the people of Oklahoma.

Today we discussed Pentecost and that we are now in the season of ordinary time.
In reading we practiced the play and students worked on r-controlled vowels, vocabulary, and using story facts and what you know to make judgments about the story.
Students did have music and PE today.
In math students began a new unit on capacity. They made a gallon man to help them remember what pints, quarts, and cups to make a gallon.
2B will be presenting their play on Friday, June 7, 2013 at 10:45 in our classroom. Student awards will be presented and then students will perform the play for our parents.
Hope everyone can come.

Wednesday
We had such a very busy day! Fr. Pete congratulated the 8th graders on their graduation. Students were very well behaved.
In reading students read two stories about different kinds of art. We are also working on making judgments and giving details from the story as reasons for a judgment.
In science students rotated through centers. They were able to navigate the ipads exploring different science apps.Then they explored and drew life cycles of a frog, a butterfly, and a chicken. Finally, students played interactive games in small groups on habitats, matter, and reading details.
In math we finished up the unit on fractions.

In religion students took a quick quiz on the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven.
In language arts students took the weekly assessments, spelling, dictation and Close tests. There are still only 12 spelling words, so check the website or your child's agenda.
In maths students looked at fractions as parts of a whole. They practiced putting pictures into groups and then writing a fraction to go with it. This was not so easy for most. They wanted to count all the pictures and then make a fraction. It wasn't necessarily wrong, but not what was asked for.
Students are really making progress with their lines for the play.
Don't forget no school on Monday.
