Week of October 27th

Dear Parent/s,

I cannot believe that it is the last week of October! This year is flying by. We have a busy week with our Saints Celebration  and Halloweenathon so be sure to read all of the reminders!

- There will be no tests this week!

- On Wednesday, your child's saint costume is due! Please send the costume in, in a paper bag with your child's first and last name on it. Please make sure it is easy for your child to assemble by himself/herself. We need the costumes on Wednesday for our "dress rehearsal." Please refrain from any swords etc.

- On Thursday, your child may bring in their Halloween costume. Again, please send it in a bag labeled with your child's first and last name. Be sure to read the email from Mr. Tosti regarding costumes.

- The Saints Celebration will begin at 9:00 in the Church. Please do not sit in the front facing the altar as these seats are reserved for the students. Please sit on the sides of the Church.

- No School on Friday! Have a great Halloween!

- Remember no school November 4th or 7th next week!

The Saint Projects were great and the kids are very excited for our celebration in two weeks! Don't forget to mark your calendar. We have quite a busy week so be sure to read the reminders.

Reminders:

- Picture day is this Thursday. Kids need to wear their winter uniforms to school and bring their gym uniforms and sneakers in a bag labeled with their name. Thanks!

- Our second reading test on "Lucia's Neighborhood" and our Chapter 3 Religion test will both be on Thursday this week.

- There will be a short grammar quiz on nouns, verbs, and adjectives on Friday. Be sure to review R copybooks.

- On Friday, we will be having "Share and Teach." Each child may bring in one thing (that can fit in their book bag). They will be sharing their item with the class and must be prepared to tell 3 facts about it!

Week of October 6th

Dear Parent/s,

I was very happy with how well the kids did on their tests this week, especially their Magic Words. The more they master these words the easier reading will be for them. We began our math facts this week as well. These facts are also very important for the kids to master. Please be sure to review the flashcards or play games each night. Thanks for all that you do at home to reinforce what we are learning in school! 

Reminders:

- We would love for you to join us at our monthly Mass this Tuesday at 9:00 am.

- Saint Project story due this Friday! Please let me know if you have any questions.

- We have two service projects going on this month. If you have any old Halloween costumes that you would like to donate, or if you would like to donate a new pair of socks please send them in! Thanks :)

- Just a heads up, winter uniforms will begin Monday, October 13th.

I think that is it for this week!
