Spelling words and sentences for week of February 4, 2019:

    As we look back to 2018, St. Benedict's second graders had so much fun preparing for Christmas.  We were even treated to a visit right before break by some wonderful ladies from the Garfield Hts. Kiwanis and Women’s Club.  They read to our second graders and gave each of our students a book to keep!  In Religion class, we are learning about Reconciliation, as many of our students are getting ready to make their First Reconciliation in preparation for their First Holy Communion this spring.  In Language Arts, we have been reading and discussing some of Aesop’s Fables and the lessons learned from each of them.  In March, we will be going on our second field trip downtown to see a performance of these fables.  Our second graders are improving their writing skills every day, learning to expand sentences to make writing more interesting, while remembering the steps in writing and seeing how to edit their work.  In Math, as we continue to work on addition of 2-digit numbers, we are now also learning to add three and four addends, before we soon move into 2-digit subtraction.   In Science, as we are learn about force and motion, we performed an experiment to discover how far items can be moved when pushed or pulled.  Students had fun working with one another using a rubber band, a ball, and a pencil!
