Week of 12/3

Dear Parents,

The next three weeks are busy and full of holiday fun! Please be sure to read all reminders and mark the dates on your calendars. Here are the reminders for this week:

- For homework this week I ask you to help your child fill out the letter that we will be sending to Santa at the end of the week! Please make sure their handwriting is neat. This is due on Wednesday. Thanks for your help!

- We will have a short subtraction quiz on Thursday this week.

- We will have a reading and spelling test on the story "At Home in the Ocean" on Friday. The spelling words are harder for this story so please make sure you are reviewing at home.

- We will be going to Santa's Secret Shop on Wednesday at 10:30am. Please send your child's envelope in by Wednesday marked with who they are buying for and approximately how much to spend on each person. If you would like to come in and help your child shop that is fine!

- We will be going on our bowling field trip with our 8th grade buddies at Sproul Lanes on Friday, December 21st from approximately 9:30-11:30 am. I will need 4 chaperones (no siblings please). If you would like to be in the drawing please email me and let me know. You must have all of your clearances up to date! A pizza lunch will be provided that day so you do not have to order hot lunch.

- A reminder that next Wednesday, December 12th is the K-4 Christmas Concert. It begins at 7:00pm in the Church. Students are to wear their "Christmas" best and you are asked to drop them off at the Parish Center at 6:30pm. I promise it will get you in the Christmas spirit!

- Please ask your child to check their art supplies and pencil cases. Many kids are in need of new pencils, glues sticks etc.

- The second trimester ends on Friday. Report cards will be sent home sometime before Christmas.

That is all for now!
Katie
