A lot of learning has been taking place! The students have almost finished their first writing piece for Mexico, which was focused on Our Lady of Guadalupe who appeared to Juan Diego in Mexico on December 9, 1531, and asked that a church be built on the site. When Juan told the bishop, the bishop demanded a sign that it was really Mary who appeared to Juan and made this request.

are eager to see the butterflies emerge from their chrysalis. I am sure they will tell you about this metamorphosis when it occurs! In math we have been continuing our study of perimeter and area as we look at shapes with the same perimeter, but different area, and vice versa. There was a multiplication quiz on Friday to reinforce the necessity of memorizing the multiplication facts. The students should be continuing committing the facts to memory as we approach the end of the school year. There will be a test on Perimeter this Thursday. The students have been practicing their handwriting as well as learning how to properly write in script. We will be continuing this practice the rest of the school year. Sincerely, Ms. McCarthy and Mrs. Penny Reminders
