Week of October 3-7,  2022 
 

Last week:   We had fun celebrating Johnny Appleseed. We read stories, shared how we can be kind like he was and ended the week with making applesauce. I was thrilled that most of the children wanted to try it.  The overall feeling was that it was delicious, others were not as enthusiastic. Thank you so much for sending in the apple slices, I know how time consuming it can be.  I think what made it so delicious was all the different types of apples.  

Reading:   In our  Wonders reader, we discussed how families come together to celebrate special occasions. Thank you for sending in the beautiful photos of your families. Some of the children have already shared their pictures, we will continue this week.        

Math:    Our lessons were focused on comparing amounts and how we show "how many". The children are doing a wonderful job on our math lessons.  Thank you for returning the "Check My Progress" page signed. Perhaps some of you did not see the stamp requesting a signature. I like to make sure you see the progress your child is making. These pages are a little assessment on the work up to that point. This week we will have another, so please send back with your signature.     

Religion:   We started our Religion books and talked about how Jesus welcomed everyone and made them feel special.  We talked about different ways we can welcome people. This week we will celebrate St. Francis of Assisi and recognize his Feast Day which is October 4th. Thank you for sending in the adorable pictures of your pets and favorite animals, the children will share with the class this week. We will complete our Creation projects. The children have been working really hard and have been enjoying this seven day story.  We will also put the next story in our Bibles. We will learn about Adam and Eve.

Star Student:  Emilia is our Star Student this week. We look forward to learning more about Emilia.
