C.R.O.S.S. - Christ Rejoices in Our School Spirit
March 21st-24th, 2016
Religion – We discussed that this is an important story about the suffering, death
and resurrection of Jesus and as we journey through Lent we should continue to
work on our Lenten Promise. We discussed what Palm/Passion Sunday is and the
importance of Holy Week. We reflected on the Triduum: Holy Thursday, Good
Friday and Holy Saturday.
I read the book “Benjamin’s Box that goes with my Resurrection Eggs.
Do you know the names of the two thieves? Dismas was on the right side (the one
who repented and asked Jesus to remember him in His Kingdom) and Gestas was on
the left side (the one who rebuked Jesus).
Reading/Language Arts – We reviewed the parts of a story: beginning, middle and
end. They worked on the story “The Wet Cat.”
They also worked on their Easter cards.
Math – We are working on Unit 6 “Comparisons and Data.” We worked on
organizing, representing and interpreting data. We did an Easter Egg subtraction
worksheet.
Science/Social Studies/Health – We finished working on our Physical Science unit
on Matter. We discussed how all things are made up of matter and that each type
of matter has its own set of principle. They learned that solids are made up of
matter, have a size and shape, and that they take up space; that liquids are made
up of matter, take the shape of the container they are in, have mass and can be
seen, felt and poured; and that gases are made up of matter, take the shape of the
container they are in and spreads out to fill all the space of what it is in, and can
be colorless and odorless.

Liquid
Gas
Our Weekly Reader was “Hanging in My Habitat.” They learned about different
habitats and the animals that live there.
Have a wonderful, faith-filled Easter
and may the Risen Lord
bless you and your family.
