Cloudy Wednesday!

Today we had a very busy day as we worked more with drawing out story problems to use subtraction in math, practiced our reading skills with our 4th grade buddies, worked with our digraph 'sh,' worked our hardest on showing what we know for testing, and going to art!

Tonight we have 'Make a Sentence' homework.  It is encouraged that work alongside your child as they read the words to cut and paste to make a sentence while acnknowledging capitolization, punctuation, and sentence structure.  Try out mixing up the words to see if the sentence would make sense!!

Tomorrow is our PTP Meeting and the 3rd grade Wax Presentation of their Presidents at 6:30p.m.

Friday, May 9th is our Walk-a-Thon at 9:00a.m.  Lunch will be served as normal!!

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!!!

Earth Day!!

Today we had a wonderful day celebrating Earth Day and learning all about different ways to take care of our Earth to include recycling and picking up litter!! We went on a nature scavenger hunt with our 4th grade buddies and simply had a terrific learning experience as we explored God's wonderful creations!

In math we identified the properties of a cone to compare and contrast it to other 3D objects such as the cube and sphere!

For our science project in honor of Earth Day, we repurposed a recycled item and made a seed starter using a water bottle!
