Week 26: March 18-22 - Welcome Back from March Break!

I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable March Break! The weather was up and down, but some days were great for outdoor activities. 

Here's what is coming up this week:

On Thursday, Fr. Tavis and other priests from our Parish will be here for Lenten Reconciliation. They will hear individual confessions of students who have already received their First Reconciliation. Here is a copy of the Children's Examination of Conscience, for you to go over with your child in preparation for the sacrament if you wish. It also has a reminder of what to say during the Sacrament of Reconciliation and an Act of Contrition, for reference.

Math:  We will be starting a short unit on Algebra in both grades. As we have done several algebra activities during our math warm-ups over the year, this unit should be relatively easy for students. The Mash Up Math website has many free puzzles that take only a minute or two to practice algebra, and are fun to do. Bedtime math also has many fun activities to do together.

Language: As we wrapped up both read-alouds before the break, we will take the opportunity to complete another CASI. We will review what makes a good summary, what "main idea" means, and character traits before writing.

Don't forget - the week of March 25-29 is Spirit Week at St. Clare! There are many activities planned to raise money for pit latrines for our Lenten Initiative, Arise and Shine Uganda.
