Week of November 26th


Parents - if you have any questions about the project or joining us, please email me.

Notice - 

Any parent who is Virtus-certified is welcome to join us in the classroom on Friday afternoon and/or Monday afternoon to help your child with the Natural Wonders project. We will begin @ 1PM on both days and work until dismissal. We will have additional time available on Tuesday (We only have from 10:30 - 11:00 because of music concert rehearsal) and Wednesday (11:00 - 12:30)


Please don't feel badly if you are unable to join us. I fully understand that work/family demands may not permit you to be here. 

Regarding supplies -
The children were supposed to draw up their supply list today.  I have plenty of paint so no one needs to bring that in. Any donations of boxes, brown wrapping paper (butcher paper), soil  or other supplies will be gratefully accepted.  I'll try to provide anything that's missing.

Thanks for your cooperation. The children are doing an amazing job with their research and designs and they're working well together. It's been inspiring to watch!



Thursday Homework -
Read for 25 minutes and log.
Math - 2 worksheets. You need to think about this and how to apply your knowledge of prime and composite numbers and factors.
Religion - color Disciple sheet. Don't fill it in except for your name. We will do that together.
Read pages 80 and 81 about the Liturgical Year. Answer the two questions about special days. As you are reading, take notes on things you think are important on page 80. When you read page 81, write down at least one important fact from each season of the Liturgical Year beginning with Advent.


Notice - 

Any parent who is Virtus-certified is welcome to join us in the classroom on Friday afternoon and/or Monday afternoon to help your child with the Natural Wonders project. We will begin @ 1PM on both days and work until dismissal.

If you would like to help out and those times don't work for you, please contact me and we'll see if another time can be arranged. I suspect we will need more time than that anyway.
