The News From Mrs Hughes/news_from

The month of May we will be learn about the Rosary, Mary being our mother and the Church’s Mother. We will talk about Mary’s special days. The students will learn the Hail, Holy Queen.

We plan a gift for our mother’s for Mother’s Day, too. We will read a special book for this special day called Mother’s Day Mice.

Charlotte’s Web is our book this month. The students will write a summary of a chapter and make a presentation.

We will be reading E.B.Whites's Charlotte's Web and doing a variety of activities related to it. The students will pick one project or activity from a site. There are other links under "Our Classroom".

This month the students will begin dividing numbers with remainders, dividing using money and dividing numbers with two and three digit quotients. Fractions and decimals are topics, too. I’m so impressed with how far the children have come in math!

Our Social Studies book is complete. In science, our studies will include animals, wild, domesticated and those that are endangered. We’ll continue working on plants.

We have planned some fun days at the end of May. More information will follow. Look under "Links to Information", then click on "Fun Last Days".

Quotes on Mothers

All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe my ahgel mother.

Abraham Lincoln

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intelliectual and physical education I received from her.

George Washington

A mother's love is like a circle.

It has no beginning and no ending.

It keeps going around and
around ever expanding,

Touching everyone
who comes in contact with it.

Engulfing them like the morning's mist,
Warming like the noontime sun ,

And covering them
like a blanket of even stars.

A mother's love is like a circle,
It has no beginning and no ending.

A Newborn's
Conversation with God.

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are seding me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you. "The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy." Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you to understand."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." "Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, "You will simply call her, "Mom."
