Week of 2/12

Dear Parents,

Hope you had a nice weekend! I can't believe we start the Lenten season this week. First grade is flying by! I decided not to give the reading and spelling test last Friday because we were off on Wednesday and Thursday however, the Magic Words and phonics section of the test will be added to the test with "Animal Groups" which we will take next Friday. There will not be a spelling test on "The Big Race" words. Here are your other reminders:

- Test folders will be sent home tomorrow. Please sign and return on Wednesday.

- On Wednesday, we will open the Lenten season (Ash Wednesday) with our Monthly Mass at 9:00 am. We will be talking about Lent and what things we can do to prepare us for Easter Sunday! We hope to see you at Mass!

- Our Valentine's Day/February birthday party will be on Wednesday. Please send valentines in a labeled bag by Wednesday morning. Please no candy treats this year. Thank you to those who donated items for our party!

- On Thursday, we will have the Chapter 11 Religion test. A study guide will be sent home.

- No school on Friday or Monday! Enjoy the long weekend!

Thanks!

Miss Tosti
