In ELA, they learned the /f/, /r/, /b/, /l/, /k/, /g/, /w/, /x/, /v/, /y/, /z/, /j/, /q/, and short /u/ sounds. They talked about pronouns, nouns, verbs, and prepositions. They also learned 16 more sight words (with, he, little, is, was, she, have, for, of, they, said, want, what, this, here, me) and had nine more spelling tests. They continued rocking their reading and started using smartie spelling.
In math, they learned about three dimensional shapes, composing and decomposing numbers to 10, addition, and subtraction.
In religion, they discussed Jesus the son of God, miracles, following Jesus, Jesus our example, faith and trust, God comes first, God saves, and Lent.
In STEM/science, they performed a few fun experiments, including designing and building an igloo using sugar cubes, figuring out how to save Gus the gummy worm without using hands, determining if candy hearts sink or float in water/soda/vinegar, erupting their own volcanoes (Rory loved this), discovering what happens when water is added to a plate of jelly beans, and building traps to try to catch a leprechaun.
I got to be mystery reader on February 15. I read I Will Not Ever Eat a Tomato and brought the kids colorful squishies (a.k.a. Paw Patrol gummies). I also helped out during their Mardi Gras art project on February 22.
They celebrated Catholic Schools Week, sponsored a service project to provide basic supplies to families with sick newborns, and exchanged valentines.
They also earned an ice cream party for completing their compliment chain, celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday, studied all about the USA during Global Awareness Week, attended the PK4 parade, and discovered a messy classroom after a visit from a sneaky leprechaun.
Rory also got to celebrate his birthday at school this quarter, and I got to pop into his classroom for just a bit to see him on his special day.
Rory had great behavior throughout the third quarter, and he tested very well on the assessments Allison gave him. Hard to believe, but he only has about 4 weeks left of his kindergarten year!

Wow. Hard to believe this is the kid who asked, after his first day at school a few years ago, if he had to go back. He's the bomb!
Another great summary of what that smart,talented child is doing! He'll be a first grader next year?!?! That's a little hard to swallow ...
