Welcome Parents!
We can't believe it's June already! We hope that everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! We have finished our last Reading unit and will be taking our unit test all week. In Math, we are continuing to work on learning how to tell time. In Social Studies, we are working on how to be a good friend. In English, we are learning about sentences and sentence structure.

Welcome Parents!

Thank you for all the hard work you and your child put into the Career Reports! It was wonderful to see the students present. We had a wonderful field trip to the fire station on Friday. Thanks to all the parents who helped, especially Paula Dionne and Nina Mueller for being great room moms! We have another fun Friday to look forward to this week! Activity Day is Friday! We hope to see some of you there! Students will wear their P.E. uniforms. They may wear ball caps or visors but not sunglasses. Please be sure to put sunscreen on your child BEFORE school. Please bring in a dollar for the cake walk and canned goods. There is a contest amongst the activity day teams to see who can bring in the most canned goods! We will not be having Reporters this week and our Spelling test will be on Thursday. The following Monday, May 31st, there is no school for Memorial Day!

This week we are studying r-controlled vowels and the -tion sound as well as the comprehension strategy, making good judgments. In Math, we have moved on from money and are now learning how to tell time on an analog clock. In English we will be working on grammar. In Social Studies, we will be learning about what it means to be a kind friend.

Congratulations to all who made their First Holy Communion this weekend! Happy May! This week St. Jerome is trying out a new lunch system. The students will play the first 20 minutes of lunchtime and eat during the last 20 minutes. Some school districts have implemented this system and it has shown to increase learning and decrease visits to the health office in the afternoon hours.

In Reading, we will be working on the long e sound as well changing words from singular to plural. We are continuing to work on 3-digit addition and subtraction in Math and we will complete our chapter on Thursday with the Ch. 9 test. In English, we will have a test on Tuesday on adverbs.

Week of April 25

Welcome Parents! We hope you enjoyed the Carnival! The rides and booths will be taken down on Monday; drop off and pick up will remain in the U-shape. Regular car line will resume on Tuesday. We will continue to practice for 1st Communion during Religion. First Communion is this Sunday at the 9:00 am Mass. The students will need to arrive at 8:30 and meet in the back of the church. We look forward to this important milestone in your child's faith. We also encourage those who are not making their 1st Communion to come to mass on Sunday to support their friends as they receive their sacrament!

In Math,the students have done a great job with the addition of three-digit numbers. We are starting a new unit in Reading and will have a Spelling test on Friday. We are studying the long -e sound spelled "ie" and "ey" and the -gh, -ph, and -lf sounds as well as determining the difference between realism and fantasy. We are continuing our work with adverbs in English.

We welcome Ms. Levin to the St. Jerome staff as the Science teacher. Mr. Deltoro will be taking over the position of 8th grade homeroom/Jr. High Math teacher for the remainder of this year.

In Social Studies we will be hosting a career day. We have parent volunteers coming in on Tuesday and Thursday to discuss their professions with the class. The students will be bringing home a Career Report Outline this week. The students will choose someone to interview (either in person or over the phone) about their career. They will use the interview as the basis for an in-class report. Please look for more information about the report requirements in your child's Take Home folder.

Welcome Parents!

We hope you enjoyed seeing our classroom at Open House last week. We enjoyed seeing you again and we hope you had an opportunity to view some of your child's work.

This week is regular schedule with the exception of Friday, February 12th. Since Valentine's Day falls on a weekend this year, we will be having our party on Friday Feb. 12th. If your child wishes to hand out valentines to the class, please make sure that you have one for every child in the class. We have 25 students. Your child may sign their name on the card, but please DO NOT address the cards. The students will be placing one valentine on each student's desk.

This week we will also be starting a new unit in math. We will be working on subtraction that involves regrouping or "borrowing" as it is also known. This is a new concept for the students and some may need extra help with their homework.

No School Monday Feb. 15th President's Day!
