Week of 4/1

Dear Parents,

Happy April! The kids did a great job taking the Terra Nova tests last week and I am so proud of them. This week we will get back to our normal schedule and work hard for the next two weeks until Easter Break. Here are the reminders for the week:

- We will have a Religion test on Chapter 15 on Friday. A study guide will be sent home today.

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

- Our Monthly Mass will be this Friday at 9:00 am. Please join us!

- If you would like to be Mystery Reader on Thursday, April 11th please let me know!

- Spring uniforms start next Monday, April 8th! Please note that the kids will still have to wear their winter uniform for the May Procession on Wednesday, May 22nd.

- A special blog will be going out today about the first grade tower garden and how much fun we have been having with it!

That is all for now!

Third Grade Fun!

Last week we learned all about the life cycle of a butterfly! The students learned about the four stages in the cycle, that butterflies actually have 4 wings and that some butterflies can travel up to 12 mph! To finish up the small unit, our third grade friends from Mrs. Bondi's class visited us. The first graders taught them all about the life cycle as they completed a book together. We had a great time!
