We are getting ready for our First Communion - here is a picture of the Chalice and Host project we worked on yesterday. We talked about what they mean and how the Host represents the body of Christ. We talked about the importance of Communion and how it is one of the sacraments. If you would look under the white host, you would see a picture of Jesus. They did a wonderful job!

In Math we learned how to tell temperature to the nearest 2 degrees today, and also how to add 3 two-digit numbers. We have a test on Friday and our practice test is tomorrow. We'll bring it home so we can study.

Today we started a unit on landforms in Social Studies. We can now tell you all about mountains, valleys, deserts, plains, plateaus and coasts. We have a booklet we're completing on landforms as we learn about them.

We're having fun learning how to write letters using the date, greeting, body, closing and signature. We're writing letters to our parents and to our friends!

Our spelling words are all the long i sound and we're learning what letters make that sound. We'll be ready for our spelling test on Friday.

The students have a substitute teacher tomorrow because I will be a reading conference all day. I won't be updating my blog tomorrow, but feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. Have a great night!
