We hope you enjoyed your extra long weekend and the beautiful weather we had here in Phoenix!

As we embark on our journey through Lent, let us not "give up" one of our favorites but let's do something kind for others. Join us next Wednesday, February 28th from 4:30 to 6:30 at St. Vincent de Paul as we partner with Mini Vinnies. Mrs. Grucky and I will both be there serving our community, and we would love for you and your child to join us. Mr. Westerfield has already blocked out all the sign up times for a 4th grade night; however, we would like to get a head count to him. Let us know if you can come. 

Looking Ahead...
  • Friday, February 23rd - Arupe Marketplace - please send in small bills; $1s and $5s
  • Friday, February 23rd - 2nd Trimester Report Cards available for view via Grade Link
  • Wednesday, February 28th - Mini Vinnies at 4:30
  • Wednesday, March 28th - Living Stations of the Cross prayed by the 4th grade @ 9:30

English Language Arts

We are continuing to work with lesson 16. 
  • There will be a spelling test on Thursday, February 22nd. 
  • There will be a reading test on the skill of compare and contrast on Friday, February 23rd. 
  • There will be a grammar test on the skill of adjectives on Friday, February 23rd. 
We will continue talking about the various types of figurative language, and we will talk about personification: giving human characteristics to something non-human.

Social Studies

We will continue reading about influential African Americans. This week will focus on Ruby Bridges.

Math

We are continuing working on division. We will be using the place value chart, the standard algorithm, and we will check our work using multiplication.

Science

We will finish the Electric Circuit Quiz Board this week.

Then, during the third trimester, I will be using my Science time to teach Geometry; that will begin this week.

Religion

We are using our "Totally Lent" workbooks from Phflaum.

If anyone is interested, training for new altar servers is Thursday, February 22nd from 3:30 to 4:30 or Saturday, February 24th from 1 to 2. Both training will take place at the Church.
