Week of 12/2

Dear Parents,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 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 Thursday. Thanks for your help!

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

- We will have a short subtraction quiz on Friday this week. It will only be on subtraction with a number line and word problems.

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

Important December dates:

Wednesday, December 11th - K-4 Christmas Concert at 7:00 pm. Students are to wear their "Christmas" best and you are asked to drop them off at the Parish Center at 6:30pm.

Friday, December 13th - Santa's Secret Shop at 10:30. Envelopes and more info will be sent home next week!

Friday, December 20th - Buddy Bowling Trip at Sproul Lanes from 9:30-11:30. Permission forms and chaperone info will be sent home later this week. Pizza will be provided for lunch on this day so there is NO need to order hot lunch!

I think that is all for now. Hope you have a great week!


That is all for now!
Katie
