Sunday 3/29/2020 10:15AM Mass https://saintpatrickscathedral.org/lWEEK 3:March 30- April 3, 2020
Dear Boys and Girls,
As the days go by, it’s not getting any easier being away from you for so long. We hope you are doing well and we can’t wait to be together again.
Do you have any questions you’d like us to answer? Email if you do. Mom and Dad know the address. We’ve become quite the E-Pals by now!
Be good. Say your prayers every day. Are you saying Grace before lunch like we do in school every day? Have you taught your family The Memorare Prayer we say before going home every day? We could all use some extra help from Our Mother, Mary right now. ( REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.)
We love you very much. Let’s do WEEK 3 LIKE CHAMPIONS!!
((HUGS)
Mrs. Joerger & Mrs. Reistad
Ps. How’s that dance going?

This Video is a great way for you to see Mass and have the parts explained.
Chapter 17 was all about the Liturgy of the Word
Chapter 18 will be about the Liturgy of the Eucharist
Remember to attend Sunday Mass Virtually through the link on our web page. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the official parish of the Archdioceses of NY. So, since we can’t go to our own parish, we will attend there until we can meet again!

*****Parents, please print the Module 7 workbook pages sent to you in an email. We are sorry about this, but we have had you only print just yesterday’s math test out so far, and we feel the children need these tangible pages to work with. (Start with just printing the 1st 3 lessons. We will take it week by week, and hopefully won't need to print too much longer.)
*****Students, complete the iknowit activities sent to you through your accounts. You will need to use your addition and subtraction skills in the upcoming module. So, we want to keep them sharp.
**Parents, this tip page also should come in handy as we begin a new module apart.(Copy & paste into your browser)

This activity is due FRIDAY--So, take your time and do your BEST work. This will be a 2 paragraph composition:
First, think about and reread Change Makers. Which “change maker” did you most admire? Why? Be sure to use text evidence and all the phrases we’ve been working so hard on in class. Remember, it’s your opinion. So be sure to support it.
Then, what kind of a “change maker” would you like to be? How do you see yourself making a difference in the world? Remember, “change makers” are all ages. So think of something you can do now.
******Now, for the presentation:
1.It should be written on looseleaf with a full school heading. Remember, it’s 2 paragraphs. So there should be 2 clear indents. 2 “main idea” sentences and 2 “wrap it up” sentences (Remember: “wrap it up” of paragraph 1 should lead reader to paragraph 2 AND “wrap it up” of paragraph 2 should end the composition)---We have learned all of this already, use what you know!
2. Have an adult video you reading this to me and attach it to an e-mail. I can’t wait to hear your ideas!
Put the looseleaf safely into your folder to bring back to class with you.**Please don’t rush this activity. I want your best work. I will accept it earlier than Friday (but not before Thursday).

Module 7 Lesson 1-- classwork and homework
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll_uWrekN4s
Parents: watch video but note that there is an error on pg 2 question 3 d. The answer should be 3 Use this as a teaching/learning experience to show text must be carefully marked. The question asks for animal habitats not animals.
*NOTES for black math notebook
Aim: Sort and record data into a table in order to solve word problems
Tally Marks
|= one
|||= Three
Bundle every five
|||| = 5
|||| |||| || = 12
**Be sure all problems that require a number sentence has one done by student. Ex. Pg. 2 #3a 14+5= 19 (child should use C.U.B.E.S. method to mark animals, grassland, AND wetlands)---I also recommend that tally marks are noted as standard numerals above the chart. So, above Forest your child should write 6.
(****Please photo and send work from today’s Math. I want to be sure # sentences are shown where necessary. Please don’t take “short-cuts”. It’s important you properly develop your skills! Work carefully.)

On your pearsonrealize.com account your child should find an assignment of a vocabulary, phonics and fresh read.

Remember, to use your reading strategies. Reference the text. Please submit by the end of day today( ignore the 4/2 date on site). Tips: Remember Synonym= Same//Antonym=opposite Base word--words within other words. Ex. reinvented (baseword= invent)
Blend and Spell- Think of your own long O words (containing o,oa,ow)--discuss them and try to spell them out loud.
**WORK ON YOUR WRITERS RESPONSE VIDEO ACTIVITY DUE BY FRIDAY.

Welcome to Class 2-2! I feel blessed to prepare you both academically and spiritually during our school year. Together, along with Our Lord Jesus Christ, we will accomplish AWESOME things.
It is going to be a special year because I will have the pleasure of preparing you to receive two beautiful gifts from God. The sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist are important steps along your path to lead a wonderful Catholic life.
Of course, you will also be learning many important, fun, and exciting skills which will continue to build upon the wonderful educational foundation that you have already been receiving at Blessed Sacrament School.
Sincerely,
Mrs.Janice-Marie Joerger
