4-1 News and Classroom Happenings!

 As we prepare for the Lenten season, we are reflecting on the message Jesus brought from His Holy Father of love, peace, and justice to the world.  
 

A New Year...full of many new learning adventures!!
ELA:
*The students are exploring how to develop fictional narrative stories.  Their creative writing is inspired by the title.. "Help I'm Stuck in A Snow Globe!" We continue to learn how to incorporate desciptive language in writing through the use of metaphors, similes, as well as the proper use of adverbs and adjectives in order to make our writing more interesting! Check out our snow globe stories and snow globe craft in the hallway! 
Religion:

* The students have been inspired by the motto;" Think like Jesus, Speak like Jesus, and Act Like Jesus". In  reflection on our Catholic faith, students used this motto as a guide post to find, select, read, and report on news articles that show people helping to bring about the Kingdom of God. 
*  In our Religion and Social Studies curriculum, students are deepening their understanding of the virtue of courage, which is a virtue both the martyrs practiced as well as many historical figures such as Dr. King. Students are writing about their role models of courage and discipleship.
Math: Fractions!!! We have started our fraction unit and when school resumes after February break, students will  explore how to add and subtract fractions.  This unit will culminate in a " recipe fraction" project! Yummy!
