Week of September 18, 2017
What an amazing week!  This week we attended Mass together for the first time.  I’m so proud of the great job everyone did participating in the Mass by paying attention to Father, singing songs, and praying.  On Thursday Fr. Pfeiffer talked to us about parts of the Mass.  He explained different areas of the Sanctuary – the altar table, Tabernacle, ambo, Baptismal font, and the priest chair.  We started the week with Talk Like a Pirate Day.  We read lots of pirate books and talked like pirates.  We completed our first Meet the SuperKids book, Cass. Be sure to sign into the SuperKids app so your child can work on newly acquired skills.  

Book Club --K/1st grade meet every Wednesday started Thursday, October 12th from 3:00-3:45.  There is no charge for the Club, but we do need parents to participate by signing up to bring a snack for everyone one time.  Please see the separate letter in your child’s Tiger folder.

Religion:  This week we learned that the beauty and wonder God created is all around us.  We are learning to appreciate and praise the beauty in God’s world.
Language Arts:  This week we continued working with the /o/ sound at the beginning of a word.  We had fun creating our own odd animals and making a book of odd animals.  We started reading My Father’s Dragon by Ruth Giles Gannett.
Math:  This week we continued working on reading, writing and counting to 5.  We are also listening to word problems that have us adding and subtracting to 5.  We are doing a really nice job of counting by 1’s.  Please continue to work with your child counting by 10’s. 
Science & Social Studies:  This week we enjoyed reading the book I Went Walking by Sue Williams.  We were inspired to take a walk around the block and make observations in order to write our own version of the book.  We hope to complete our books next week. 

COMING UP …
Walk-a-thon- This is our biggest fundraiser of the year.  We will be walking on Friday, November 3rd, time to be determined.  Walk-a-thon t-shirt order information will be sent home soon!  Parent volunteers to walk with our class are always welcome. 

Next week a calendar and letter explaining Book It! will be coming home.   Each month a calendar will come home.  Fill in each day that your child reads.  At the end of the month return the calendar (signed) and your child will receive a coupon for a free Pizza Hut personal pan pizza.

Language Arts:  Continue working on writing our names correctly; working with words that begin with the O/o sound; rhyming words; writing and illustrating a nature book.
Math:  Counting and writing numbers 6-7.
