Dear K2 families, 

Friday was the beginning of a beautiful Holy Week. Finishing our stations of the cross booklet and attending the 8th Grade stations of the cross was such a great way to kick off Holy Week. The children loved it and had so many amazing questions afterwards. I am so proud of them and their hunger to better know Jesus. Its truly inspiring for me! 

Praying for your family during this amazing, beautiful week!

This coming week we will be doing the following: 

Reading: Essential Question: How can  you help out at home? New letter: Long A New Words: review week

 We will continue working on letter recognition, letter sounds and blending three to four letters together to make new words. The children are getting so good at this and really proud of themselves! Please continue practicing with them. Keep it fun, point out words all around you in their world at home or out in their environments! If they haven’t already, I’m sure they will start pointing out words to you that they see around them! This is such an amazing transition for parents to witness. Enjoy it! A safe environment for them to feel that its ok to fail, as long as they try their best, is the key to fostering a love of learning. Please continue to practice their sight words with them. I know it gets tedious, but you can find fun ways to introduce the words to them. Put them on post its around your home and have them go look for them on a word hunt. Another idea is to write the words out in bath soap when taking a tubby! The ideas are endless! Just make sure to keep it fun and stress free for them! 

Writing: Continuing with journal writing. Please reinforce this skill in a positive way at home. Children are working hard at sounding out words and writing them how they sound. They are making great progress! When  you are reading to them at home point out a sentence (upper case letter in beginning and ending with a punctuation mark.) Show them that the picture on the page matches with the words that are written. They are making so many connections each day! 🙂

Math: We will work on the concept of weight, heavier or lighter, measuring with blocks, capacity, what holds more or less, temperature 

Religion: Chapter 22, Celebrating is Good. We will also learn about St Julie and St Ignatius of Loyola 

Centers: 1. Writing 2. Spring Magnets 3.Measuree spring pbjects 4.Art 5. ABC soup 6. Listening 7.God is Love craft 

Thank you so much for choosing St Jane’s. I am truly blessed to share my school days with your child! Please never hesitate to reach out to me about anything. 🙂
