Activities from our Classrooms

7/8—Students learned about Bohr's

model in science and started to

break down the periodic table. In

history, 7th grade finished the Age of

Enlightenment and 8th grade learned

how our country changed once slav-

ery was abolished. In religion, we

studied compassion and mercy and

made posters that exemplify what

each student’s image of compassion

and mercy look like.

5/6—Fifth grade math students learned about coor-

dinate geometry. They learned how to write or-

dered pairs as well as find them. A fun activity that

helped them learn more about ordered pairs and

graphing that they got to play

was Battleship. Sixth grade is

on their last topic in math,

data, and will be taking a test

next week. After both grades

are done with their grade lev-

el topics they will be review-

ing the Step Up portion of the

curriculum that covers some

of the next grade level work.

Friday was the last day of

Family Life, students did a great job of participating

by asking thoughtful questions and learning that God

is an important part in all

aspects of their lives. In

history, students continue

to work on their state re-

ports in class. They will

also be tested each week

on locating certain states

on the map. Families, please work with students on

their state floats at home, as this portion will not be

completed in class.

3/4—The class has done an exceptional job transi-

tioning back to in-person learning. I was greeted by

smiling faces as everyone was excited to see one an-

other. Math 3 students completed their Topic 12

chapter on Time and Math 4 Topic 12 on Adding and

Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers with Like

Denominators. Math 3 will be moving on to their

next topic which will focus on understanding perime-

ter. Math 4 will be moving along into extending frac-

tion concepts where they will learn to multiply frac-

tions, work with fractions and decimals, and equiva-

lent fractions. In Social Studies the class will continue

learning about the structures of government specifi-

cally at the national level. In Religion we will focus on

the Corporal Works of Mercy and the Virtue of In-

dustriousness.

1/2—Congratulations to Breelyn Farrell, Isabella

Marsh, Brayden Ramos, Ajay Takhar and Kacey Yip

for earning 90% or above on their Spelling test. Also,

congratulations to Valentina Barrera, Gissel Marzal,

Annabelle Meraz, Hayley Phelps, Elizabeth Rios and

Luna Tamayo for

earning 90% or

above on their Vo-

cabulary chart test.

Way to go! We en-

joyed the nice

weather this week

and the children en-

joyed some time

reading outside. In

science, students

began to learn

about sounds and

light. We did a few

fun listening activities this

week which the children

seemed to have enjoyed.

Activities from our Classrooms Cont.

TK/K—Our class had a memorable time with

Mrs.Torres as her last day was April 28th. As a class

we gifted Mrs. Torres a basket of baby books col-

lected from all the students. It was heartwarming and

a special time for our class. We welcome our new

TK/K Teacher Aide, Mrs. Meraz, she has already

been a wonderful addition to our class family. In

math, students dove into practicing their addition

math facts. In Social Studies, we learned about Daniel

Boone and Pocahontas. Students were amazed to

learn about the real Pocahontas. In ELA, students in

kindergarten completed their unit focusing on ani-

mals and their habitats. Students in TK worked on

comprehension by answering questions from a story

they listened to. In religion, students learned more

about the liturgical calendar and why we use certain

colors at different times of the liturgical year. They

learned and sang a wonderful song about the liturgi-

cal calendar.
