Dear Parents,

We have been working on 2digit multiplication for two weeks. The children know the process but are making mechanical mistakes. We are moving on. Please continue to practice multiplication facts or make up a few problems each night. I will give worksheets periodically to reinforce this skill.

Mss Zwilling has finished teaching about Reconciliation. The students will participate in this Sacrament in the Spring.

OUR WEEK AHEAD:

Religion – We Love All That Is Holy

Reading – “Cendrillon”, Venn diagram, pronunciation key

English – verbs

Phonics – suffixes

Math – test Wednesday

Science – Space Exploration

Social Studies – The South, research new state

Spelling – test on Friday

IMPORTANT DATES:

Nov. 26/27 – Thanksgiving Break

Nov. 28/29 – Advent begins

Nov. 30 – Child Protection paperwork is due.

Thought for the week:

Education is a funny thing. At eighteen we knew all the answers – forty years later even the questions confuse us.

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Sincerely,

Karen
