Week of 2/25

We worked on our "Seed to Plant" books last week and saw our seeds beginning to sprout in our tower garden! Be on the look out for a special blog all about it soon!

Dear Parents,

I hope you had a nice weekend. It will be great to have a normal, full week of school! This week we will start a new unit in reading and math and continue to review for the Terra Nova test. Here are your other reminders:

- Information about the Leprechaun Trap project will be sent home today! We read a story about how to trap a tricky leprechaun and talked about some ideas of how to create a trap. Please let me know if you have any questions.

- The kids will bring home a new reading workbook tonight that goes with the stories for the second half of the year.

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

- On Wednesday, the 8th grade is hosting their Business Day. We will be visiting in the afternoon. The price range of the businesses is $1.00-$5.00. If you would like to send in money for your child please do so in a labeled envelope. No food or drink will be sold.

- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 11 on Friday.  A study guide will be sent home.

Have a great week!

Week of 2/11

I had so much fun watching the first grade boys play each other on Sunday! 

Dear Parents,

Hope you had a nice weekend! Everyone is back this week and I am SO happy that we are all healthy. We will continue to sanitize every day! We have a busy week ahead with "Kindness Week," school mass and Valentine's Day. Here are your reminders:

- This week the entire school is implementing "Kindness Week." We are doing this to promote kindness throughout the school and also as a way to honor the memory of some faculty members who have lost loved ones recently. Each student will receive the name of another student in the school and throughout the week will do small acts of kindness for that person. It could be writing a simple note or drawing a picture for them! Everyone will find out who they have on Friday! We hope to make kindness contagious! Be sure to ask your child about it! Please remember that no money should be spent and no food should be brought in. Thanks so much!

- On Wednesday, we will have our school mass at 9:00 am! All are invited to join us.

- We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Thursday. Please send valentines in a labeled bag by Thursday morning. Please no candy treats this year.

- On Friday, we will have the Chapter 10 Religion test. A study guide will be sent home.

- No school on Monday, 2/18! Enjoy the long weekend!

Thanks!
