Whew! Busy, busy busy!

We started a new Social Studies unit today, and we learned how we are just a teeny, tiny, speck in a much larger world:

In Math, we learned about a gallon, half-gallon, quart, pint, and cup. We practiced measuring and guessing how much containers could hold.

In Religion, we watched a short video explaining what to expect at First Reconciliation.

Our Mardi Gras celebration is coming up on March 4th. We'll be sending a note home with all of the details, but 1st and 2nd grade will be hosting a Cake Walk game at the event. We are asking each 1st and 2nd grade family to donate 12 cupcakes plus 1 cake for that day's game prizes. It doesn't need to be fancy store-bought...homemade treats are wonderful! No nuts, strawberries or raspberries, please!

We enjoyed the nice weather today - hope you did, too!
