What's Happening This Week?


Now that Thanksgiving is over, we will begin practicing for our annual Christmas program.  I still can't believe how fast the years go. Please make plans to attend.  All are invited.  Including grandparents, siblings, etc.  If this is your first child at Guardian Angels, you are in for a very special treat.  It is being held on Thursday, December 13 at 1:30 in the church.  The children are to wear khaki pants or a skirt for the girls and a white turtleneck or long sleeve shirt.  We have all the costumes for it here at school, so no need to worry about that. 


This week in Language Arts we will be learning the vowel Ii.  We will be using the short sound of i to read and blend CVC words.  In Math, we will continue with addition, decomposing numbers into number pairs.  In Religion, we will be learning our Christmas Carols and practicing in Church.  Our thematic unit this week, will be an author study of Mem Fox.  We will be using her books to learn Social Studies concepts and respond to her stories in Writer's Workshop. 

Here are just a few of her books.  They are available at the library.  She is an amazing children's author!
