October 14-18 Weekly Update

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are learning about Habit 4: Think Win-Win. Think Win-Win is the belief that everyone can win. It’s not you or me, it’s both of us. It’s a belief that there are enough good things for everyone. It’s being able to be happy when good things happen to other people. 

To be able to Think Win-Win, it is important to be strong in Habits 1, 2, and 3 (Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First).
Habit 4: Think Win-Win is the first of the three habits that address relationships. They teach us how to better interact with others. 
In Math, we are starting a new chapter: Estimation and number theory. Students will continue to practice different ways of estimation (rounding, front-end, and using multiplication facts). We are going to learn about finding factors and multiples of a number. Please encourage your child to review their multiplication and division facts
In reading, we just finished reading the second quadrant and working on identifying the themes in the story. Next week, we will discuss what is the author teaching us as we continue to read Shiloh.
In Writing, we started using typing.com, an online typing tutor, to teach your child about proper touch-typing techniques and improve their keyboarding skills. Learning to touch type helps students be more productive and better prepares them for success in school and beyond
In social studies, we will be started exploring the definition of culture and discuss how our own culture is at the same time different and similar compared to our other people.
REMINDER/S:

  • On Sunday, October 20th, 10:30 AM will be our Stewardship Mass. Please remind your child to wear their school uniform.
