Reminder - Confirmation Forms are Due Friday, April 29th!

If you are planning to have your child confirmed at St. Patrick's on June 1st or 2nd, please make sure to fill out the form and send it into the school by this Friday, the 29th of April. If the form has been misplaced, it can be printed here.

Today in math we took up the review pages we have been working on for the past few days and then played a game of Plickers to help review the concepts. Our test for fractions and decimals is tomorrow.

In language, we continued reading Where the Red Fern Grows, which students seem to be really enjoying. I usually read to students while they are eating their snack. It gives students a chance to enjoy a story and we have great discussions about the characters, plot, and setting as we progress through books. Afterward, students completed a reading comprehension practice sheet, which we will take up tomorrow. I always encourage students to check their written work against our Bump It Up wall to see if they have achieved a level 4, and if they don't think so, try to change it so that they can. On the Bump it Up wall are examples of a reading response at each level, and descriptions of what is needed to get to the next level. You will be able to see our Bump it Up wall during our Open House if you are attending. Once everyone was finished the reading comprehension, we finished the last couple of presentations about Signs in Scripture for Confirmation, and then read about the 7 Sacraments. Students will be doing some guided research about each of the sacraments over the next few days.

During Science today we finished the last presentations about the elements of space (stars, planets, galaxies, etc.). We will begin learning about our Solar System over the next little while. Students will be doing some research about each of the planets, and then building a solar system model.
