Week of May 25th

Dear Parent/s,

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend and are well rested for the last three busy weeks of school! Thank you to all who came to see the first grade put on the monthly mass last week. The mass was beautiful and the children did a fantastic job! Here are your reminders for our last week of full days (can you believe it)?!

- We will wrap up our reading and math units this week and begin working on reviewing for exams.

- Exam study guides and a schedule will be sent home today. We will be completing the same study guides in school all week but I wanted to send home an extra copy for you to have. Feel free to fill it out with your child as extra practice or use it however you want. These do not need to be turned back in to me. If you have any questions please let me know.

- We will have our last spelling test this Friday.

- We will have our Chapter 16 Religion test on Friday as well. The kids will be expected to know all seven sacraments.

- This is the last week for hot lunch. The only thing that will be sold next week in the cafeteria is water. Please be sure to send your child in with a lunch and a snack next Monday and Tuesday. Half days begin Wednesday, June 3rd.

- Don't forget next Tuesday, June 2nd will be "Donuts with Dudes."

- Our class won a free Dress Down day for collecting the most soda can tabs (a special thanks to Stella Scott and family!). The kids voted for the DD day to be next Tuesday, June 2nd.

- This will be the last week for Mystery Reader. I still need a volunteer! If you can do it please let me know. Thanks!


That's all for now!

Week of May 4th

Dear Parent/s,

Happy May! This month and the rest of the year is sure to fly by. I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by and how much the kids have grown and learned. We have another busy week so here are your reminders:

- This week is Screen Free Week! If your child is participating please keep track on the sheet that was sent home last week. If your child completes it they will receive a free dress down pass!

- Wednesday night will be the May Procession. The students need to be in our classroom by 6:40 pm dressed in their winter uniforms. They will also need to bring their rosaries. Most students have a set in school but there are a few who still need them. Please do so by Wednesday. An email will be sent out with more information from Mr. Tosti today or tomorrow. Please be sure to read it.

- Saturday is the SK5K! Good luck to all who are participating!

- We will have a math quiz on measurement on Wednesday.

- I only have two dates left for Mystery Reader! If you can read on the 21st or 28th please let me know.

- Lastly, a very happy Mother's Day to all of you amazing moms! I hope you all enjoy a nice and relaxing day because you definitely deserve it for all that you do :)

Enjoy your week!
