Dear Families, March 15, 2024
We had fun with our St. Patrick’s Day or Green Day. We were the mischievous leprechauns for our Pre-K buddies! We LOVED playing the big kids’ part! We also had another reader’s theater this week as well as lots of writing!
We also had fun on Pi Day with our scientists and mathematicians!
Helping during Math times are here! I have added dates through the end of the year.
There is just one more opening for Pebbles Weekend Fun!
Blessings,
Paula A. Martin-Zender

Religion – Fourth Grade Theologians learned about the Prophet Moses and how God made a covenant with him to bring the Israelites to the Promised Land. We had fun memorizing the Ten Commandments!
Language – Fourth grade readers are reading Shiloh, a book about a family living in West Virginia. For spelling, we focused on words ending with comparatives (-er) and superlatives (-est). We also are honing in on our summarizing non-fiction by finding “Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How” and then using those to write a good solid paragraph. Finally, we worked hard on writing our book reports on Seesaw!
Math – Mathematicians are learning how multiply fractions. There are many steps to remember!
Social Studies – We are diving into Native American in Washington asking the essential question: “How did God’s Creation affect Native peoples of Washington?”
Friday, March 22 – Mass – dress uniform!

Spanish – Una nota de Señora Anna- This week in Spanish, students watched videos from each Spanish speaking country and took notes on what they’d learned. Using this information, students will choose one country to research more in depth next week.
