Week of 3/21

Dear Parents,

We have a short two days this week so this blog will also be short :) This week we will focus on learning about Holy Week and celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus. We had a blast with our leprechaun traps last week and we even had a visit from a leprechaun! The creativity always amazes me!  Thank you for all of your help with it. The kids really enjoyed it. You can check out the pictures below. Here are a few reminders:

- There will be no tests and no homework this week. Happy Easter!

- Report Cards will be sent home Tuesday. Please keep the report at home and sign and return the envelope when we return next Wednesday.

- If you have any questions about report cards don't hesitate to contact me.

- Students return to school Wednesday, March 30th.

I hope you all have a blessed Easter and a relaxing break!

- We will celebrate our monthly Mass on Wednesday at 9:00 am. Please join us!

- There will be a math test on Time (to the hour and half hour) on Wednesday.

- Leprechaun traps are due on Thursday.
