*Below is a list of topics we would have been working on in school this week.  Please work on these with your child at home so when school is back in session we can get right back to work!

ABC’s: The letter V.  Please practice writing and identifying the letter, as well as the sound it makes and things that start with the letter.  If you would like to make some crafts at home, we would have been making vase, volcano, and violet crafts.

ELA: Ocean habitat.  Read some stories about the ocean and talk about what animals live there.

*If you follow the links below and sign up for a free Reading IQ account, there are many books available to learn about the ocean!  Pick a few each day to enjoy and discuss!*

Math: 3D shapes.  This week, we would have been doing a simple introduction of 3D shapes.  Go on a 3D shape hunt around your house and see what shapes you can find!

Religion: “Coming Together at Mass” - Talk about things you do at Mass (sing songs, say prayers, hear readings from the Bible).  

Talk about the story of Easter.  Read some Bible stories. After reading a few, the children love watching the Bible stories come to life on FORMED (Brother Francis series is age appropriate).  Continue to fill in your Lenten good deeds chart! Don’t forget to say the Hail Mary and Our Father Prayers, as well as our lunch/snack time prayers every day just like we do in school!

 

Science: Volcano experiment! https://www.scholastic.com/parents/kids-activities-and-printables/activities-for-kids/math-and-science-ideas/mini-volcano.html

Celebrate Spring!  Talk about the changes we see in the weather. Go on a nature walk and make a list of all the things you see.
