Welcome back to a new school year.  It is with great joy that I WELCOME your child to Room 2B.  We are off to a good start.

This year your child will be learning many new and exciting things.  We will be learning more about God.  We will have a great time learning about Jesus.  Students have started saying the Act of Contrition in preparation of receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation in February.  We also look forward to receiving Him in Eucharist.

The following is a quick review of our curriculum:

Reading:  new vocabulary words, context clues, story structure, main idea and details, cause and effect, make and verify predictions, sequencing, problems and solutions, draw conclusions and summarizing.

Math:  master addition and subtraction facts to 18, add and subtract 2- and 3-digit numbers with and without regrouping, count money, identify fractions, identify polygons, read and create bar graphs,  problem solving, and measurement.

Phonics:  phonetic awareness, rhyming, blending sounds or letters and syllables to read unknown words, knowledge of common word families to sound out unfamiliar words, alphabetical order, digraphs, and blends.
