Dear 4B Families,
Holy Week has arrived. Much of our focus this week will be related to Holy Week events and study. To help with our planning if you will be missing any days this week due to vacations would you please let us know. Thank you!
Our religion focus this week will be Holy Week. The students will be using their Bibles and other resources to better understand the important events of this week. We will be going over to the church to walk the Stations and read reflections on each as part of one reading class this week. We will celebrate Holy Thursday with a special Faith Family prayer service. Good Friday is a “LOW Tech day” for the entire school. We will be focusing on activities related to Good Friday and Holy Week as we prepare for Easter. At 11:00 we will gather in the church for The Living Stations of the Cross. We will be dismissing in silence following both the morning Stations of the Cross and at the end of the day. Thank you for helping support this action of respect as you pick up your children on Friday. Perfect uniform is required on Wednesday and Friday this week. There is not a free dress for a dollar this week.
Language Arts: Students will be writing their final drafts of the first entry in their Flat Stanley Journals. We will also be taking pictures for this entry. There is not a spelling test this week. We will send home the words for the April 12th test this Thursday.
Flat Stanley on Spring Break!
The students will all bring home their flat person so they can take pictures on the fun outings that happen over the break. Students should take notes of the outings/pictures and maybe even collect brochures or ticket stubs that could be added to the journals later. Students will be offered the opportunity to bring home their journal and start writing a final draft if they choose over the break, but this is not required.
Math: In math we are working on the simplest form, equivalent fractions, and comparing and ordering fractions. Look for homework each night this week.
Spelling: There is no spelling test this week. The words for the week of April 17-21 will be sent home on Thursday.
That should wrap things up this week.
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter and spring break.
