Cool Down Tuesday!
The cool down is definitely refreshing and geared us into a wonderful working and learning mode today!!
Today we focused on problem solving stories in math and dictating story problems, identifying words for sentences that make sense, practicing for Mass, reading, and identifying push/pull forces that move objects!
Tonight, your child has Pictures and Words homework! Have them view the pictures and identify how they're different, followed by having them read the words to identify which words go with each picture!!
Do you know a family who is searching for a respectable and honorable school to send their child(ren) to?! If you refer a family and they choose St. Luke School to become their own and register their children, you and your family will be exempt from required volunteer hours next year (with the exception of helping for our most fabulous Fall Festival which is always a fun-filled time)!!!

Wondrous Wednesday!
We have been working hard identifying consonant blends, compound words, vowels, and sight words! We are working on sentence structure and differentiating between questions and statements!
Ask your child about the rule for 'c' and 'k' sounds!! (A word begins with 'k' if it is followed by e, i, or y and a word begins with 'c' if it is followed by a, o, u, or any consonant!) This is helpful when they say, "But I don't know which one it starts with because they both make the 'k' sound!"
Tonight we have 'C' letter recognition and phonemic awareness homework!

100th DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!
We made it to the 100th day of school and we couldn't be more EXCITED!!!
We started our day out in the most perfect way by going to Mass and acknowledging our Disciple of the Month students for Goodness, Honor Roll, and Perfect Attendance!!
We sorted out different snack items in groups of 10 to count by 10s to 100 so that our Trail Mix had 100 goodies!
*photo was after we had prayed and could already begin eating in case you were wondering why there isn't 10 of each :)
We did multiple counting activities to 100, sorting 100 items into groups of 10s, thought about what we would do with $100, imagined ourselves being 100 years old, and simply enjoyed celebrating being 100 days smarter together!!
We also had our AR reading party as we are beginning to get excited about answering questions about the wonderful books we have read!
In our SecondStep guidance we talked more about calming down strong feelings and taking belly breaths to help us!
It was more than an amazing day today!! I hope you all have a terrific weekend and I look forward to seeing you at the All School Mass on Sunday at 11:00a.m.!!!!

Happy Friday to you all!!
We have been very busy learning about life cycles, discussing Martin Luther King Jr. and the significance of his freedom work, discovering and writing about the signs and wonders of winter, representing numbers to compare/contrast using manipulatives, and much more!
Today in our Second Step guidance program, we worked with steps to calm down include: 1) Say "stop" and put hands on tummy 2) Name your feeling 3) Take a deep breath and calm down
It sure has been an exciting and enouraging week of learning together!
I hope you each have a blessed weekend and are able to embrace the most beautiful weather!!

Fantastic Friday!!!
Today we did a great job in Mass showing reverence and participating!
In our guidance this week, we are learning how to focus on the feelings within our own bodies to help us determine how we feel, followed by talking to a grown up to help us feel better and get through the situation.
We have been working with adjectives and sentences thoroughly this week! Modeling speaking is very significant for your child and using complete sentences helps them learn how to express themselves clearly which carries over to their writing in complete sentences!
We were all very excited for our 'Kk' Show-and-Share today :)
I hope you each have a wonderful weekend and are able to enjoy the warm, beautiful weather!!
