 Religion this
month will cover many topics, with an emphasis Lent, Holy Week, and The
Triduum, focusing on renewing and repenting. We will
have the chance for
Reconciliation soon. Please review with your child what to do, say and
"The Act of Contrition". We will make bookmarks for our buddies for St.
Patrick's Day.

We will be
studying simple machines. One of our stories is about
Benjamin Franklin. We'll find out about other inventors. An Invention
Convention is planned. Please look at the main page and under "Homework
Helps" for links
that may be helpful. The
idea is
having fun, taking chances and learning at the same
time. It will be in April.We
have our Day
of Flight at the end of
the month. |
 Math
studies will
include fractions, measurement, multiplication and division. More
opportunities for composition, reading trade books and stories in our
reader will be an important part of this month. I hope to have the
children read many of the books for Scholastic Reading Counts. Please
send any Dr. Seuss’ books to school March 2nd to celebrat e
his birthday.
Language Arts
The students are writing persuasive and descriptive
paragraphs as well as studying the parts of speech. Doing Madlibs
is an amusing way to reinforce them. We have a lot of laughs doing this
in the past!

 Remember
to "spring"
your clocks forward!
On assessment days, students will be asked to wear a special hat
during our test. These will be known as our "Thinking Caps"
and will be worn only on these special days. This helps ease some
of the stress that may come with test taking. A reminder will be
sent home the day before the test or you can check our weekly
newsletter for a list of test dates on our calendar.

~God's Rainbow~
Rainbows
appear after mighty storms,
When things look their very
worst,
Just
when the skies are darkest grey,
Look
for the rainbow first.
The
rainbow is a sign of
God's promise,
That
He will
guide us through any storm,
That
He
will see us through all our troubles,
No
matter what their form.
When
you feel battered
by life's storms,
And
you are
filled with doubt and dismay;
Just
remember God's rainbow is coming,
It's
only a prayer away.
~From an "Old
Print Factory Inc." Card
