Week of May 14, 2018
Butterfly Update: We were
able to complete our Butterfly Journals this week because ALL 5 of our
butterflies emerged from their chrysalis!
We released the butterflies in the Parsonage prayer garden. We were able to see close up how butterflies
use their tongue like a straw to suck the nectar out of a flower or juiced out
of an orange.
Religion: This week we recognized that when we help and
care for others we are living God’s love.
Living love shows love for God.
Language
Arts: This week we practiced identifying capital and
lowercase X/x/, Y/y and Z/z. We
associated picture names with /x/, /y/, /z/ and worked on identifying and
creating rhyming words.
Math: This week we continued to learn about three
dimensional shapes by describing them by their attributes. A sphere has a curved surface. A cube has 6 flat surfaces, also called a
face. A cylinder has 2 flat surfaces and
a curved surface, and a cone has 1 flat surface and a curved surface.
Social
Studies: We reviewed
what a compass rose is. We looked at
maps and created a map using a story sequence.
COMING UP:
Language Arts—Our focus will be on
the X/x/, Y/y/, Z/z sounds.
Math—We will continue working with 3D shapes and
positional words.

We had
such a fun week again! The weather for
our field trip to the zoo was beautiful!
It was so nice to see real animals that we have learned about. One of our favorites were the Meerkats. We also thought the baby rhino was
adorable! We had so much fun planning
and making our Mother’s Day gifts. We
hope you enjoy the pinch pots your children made for you. It was so exciting to be able to design
something special for you to use to keep your rings or other small things
safe. We worked hard to make the
muffins for Muffins with Mom. We
practiced reading the directions, measuring, and being patient!
Religion: This week we recognized that Mass helps Christians celebrate and live God’s love. Holy things are found in a holy place.
Language Arts: This week we worked with understanding skits. We practiced reading with fluency and expression. Our comprehension skills were focused on using prior knowledge, recognizing text structure, characters, confirming predictions, and drawing conclusions. Our vocabulary words were: huff, puff, costume, props, and scenery. We practiced our writing by writing about our visit to the zoo.
Math: This week we practiced measuring and cooperative work. We started a unit on 3 dimensional shapes. We will be focusing on attributes by using vocabulary words: curved, flat surface, roll, slide, and stack.
Social Studies: We learned about what a compass rose is. We looked at maps and followed a story using a map.

Week
of April 30, 2018
We had a very busy, fun week! We had so much fun on our field trip to the
main public library. The bus ride was very
interesting, as we weaved in and out of construction through downtown
Akron. We really enjoyed the songs,
dancing, stories and making musical instruments. We learned about different types of animals
and what makes them unique. We learned
that mammals are warm blooded and have live births. Birds have feathers, but not all can
fly. Fish have fins and gills. Amphibians are cold blooded, lay eggs and
have very porous skin that needs moisture.
Reptiles are cold blooded, lay eggs, and hard scales.
Religion: This week we recognized that when we help and
care for others we are living God’s love.
Living love shows love for God.
Language
Arts: This week we continued working on increasing our
comprehension skills by re-reading the skit, The Glum Princess. We used
our prior knowledge, recognized text structure, identified characters, and
confirmed predictions. We looked at
multiple meaning words such as present. We worked with vocabulary words huff, puff, costumes, props, scenery. We have been working with blending sounds to
decode words, as well as segmenting words and focusing on the medial vowel
sounds.
Math: This week we worked on understanding
measurements. We learned that we measure
different things in different ways. We
measure time using a clock and calendar.
We measure heights and widths with rulers and yardsticks, and measure
distances in miles.
Science: We learned about magnets. We learned that magnets are a material or
object that produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is invisible but
attracts or repels other magnets.
COMING UP:
Beginning May 1st students may wear
UNIFORM shorts. No cargo, running, or
gym shorts are allowed. We also CAN NOT
wear shorts on Friday’s to Mass.
Language Arts—Our focus will be on
the J/j/ sound.
Math—We will continue learning about measurements. We will then start with 3D shapes.

Dietzel Diary - Week of April 23, 2018
What a
great week to play outside! We have been
able to enjoy the good weather by working extra hard in the mornings and taking
extra time at recess. This week we
learned about Earth Day and the importance of taking care of our Earth. We discussed ways we can each help to Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle. One of our favorite
stories was The Curious Garden by
Peter Brown. We learned how one little
boy was able to change and improve and entire community. We also learned about Miss Rumphius and all the beautiful wildflowers she grew, making
her community beautiful. Our caterpillars
arrived this week. We are keeping a
journal of their activities and are very excited to watch them change and
become butterflies.
Religion: This week we discovered that Jesus celebrated God’s love and invites us to do so also. We understand that Jesus is with us when we gather at Mass. We also learned that when we help and care for others we are living God’s love.

Language
Arts: This week
we blended sounds to decode words. We
identified apostrophes and recognize singular possessives. Our memory words were: put,
for. Our vocabulary words were: gull,
pet, hospital. We worked with
synonyms while reading our stories. We
used comprehension skills, focusing on recalling details and visualizing.
Math: This week we completed our unit focused on
2-dimensional shapes. We identified and
named circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and hexagons. I was very impressed with how well everyone
did on our test!
Science: We reviewed that animals need food, water and
shelter to survive. We then learned
about dinosaurs and discussed that they would have needed the same thing to
survive.

gym shorts are allowed.
