Dear Parents,

In Religion we have been learning about some of the different miracles that Jesus performed; Jesus healing people, Jesus stopping the storm (when He was with His disciples), Jesus feeding more than 5,000 people with just a few pieces of food (And there was food LEFTOVER!), Jesus bringing the guard’s daughter back to life…..just to name a few.  In learning about all of these different miracles, we have learned how powerful Jesus really is and that He really IS God.  We talked last week about how Jesus said that He is the bread life.  Did your firstie bring home this message on little white circles?  Ask what the little white circles represented and also ask what Jesus meant when He said that.

In Math we have been working hard on subtracting.  Firsties are encouraged to use their hundred charts to help with subtracting by 10’s, but if it can be done mentally, that is encouraged too! Again, practice with your kiddo.  The more practice they get, the easier it will become. 

We had some more secret readers last week!  Thank you to all that were able to come and read to us!  We enjoyed the time that you were able to give us, so much!

One of my friends (and a teacher as well), Mrs. KIm Bublitz came and read two books to the firsties!

Mrs. Sendtko

The Social Studies Fair went very well!  Thank you for helping and working with your firstie so that they could complete the majority of their project by themselves!  I don’t know about them, but I learned a little more about each of the first graders and a lot about the people that they chose to do a time on.  If you were not able to attend the Fair, below are a few pictures of the time lines, all set up and ready to be viewed.  

And I also took a few candid pictures on Friday night...

Have a great week as we continue to travel through this Lenten season.

Blessings!

Miss Gallagher
