Reading/Phonics:
Can you please find our small book?  The title is Yes! 
Now, this is the Holy Spirit working!! Our book is called Yes and today is the Feast of the Annunciation!!  Miss Lee did not plan this!  Of course our Blessed Mother said YES, to be the mother of our Lord!!  What a great book to read today!

*Read the book with a family member
* Let's circle the high-frequency words: all & read
* What do the kids like to do? Circle all the words that tell you.
*What do the dogs like to do? Read the words that tell you.
*Why does the author say that kids like to yip and yap as well? Point to details in the picture that show this?

Is there a Y paper that I sent home on the last day before we left? We usually do this for homework. Maybe we can do that now for some extra practice.

 here is a cute video to watch about different types of clouds:https://youtu.be/LQbSN4ST9kM?list=RDLQbSN4ST9kM

Here is a cute poem:
Clouds
Scattered and wispy in the sky........Cirrus clouds are drifting by.
Long and flat clouds in the sky .....Stratus clouds are moving by.
Large and puffy clouds in the sky ...Cumulus clouds are floating by.
High and dark clouds in the sky......Cumulonimbus clouds are thundering by.

  Also, there is a paper in the brown envelope that says: Follow Directions with Positional Words.  You can complete this and illustrate a type of cloud from the poem/video.  **This is a winter paper, I know:)***

Today you will have computer/library class. I know how much you love this class. See Ms. Brewer's blog.

Religion:
Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. Let's pray 3 Hail Mary for world and for our Mothers.
I believe in your child's folder there is a picture for your child to color.  It says the
The Annunciation. Also, the last page of your child's religion book, page 271 -218 , this is nice page to refer to when praying the rosary.  You can take this page out and keep it at home.:) We did not practice the Hail, Holy Queen prayer as a class yet.:)
The video is at the top of the page.

Ok, boys and girls! I hope you had a good day!

Miss you all!!
