This week we are going to start learning about saints and choosing the saints we are going to research, and report on. At home, help your child come up with a list of their top three choices of saints by this Thursday. Students will be chosen at random to select their saint. I will pass out a graphic organizer for them to use to organize their research at the end of the week. They do not need to do work on the report at home at this time, but if you would like to help them fill the sheet out, feel free. It will be due next Friday, 9/10.
Science
We are continuing to learn about how living things grow and change-transitioning from plants to animals. We will continue to observe the lima bean and poppy seeds we planted last week.
