Week of 1/20

Dear Parents,

Thanks for those of you who volunteered yesterday to help out with the day of service. We spent time in class today talking and learning about Dr. King and all of the great lessons he has taught us.

There is not too much going on this week! Here are a few reminders:

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

- Religion homework this week will be writing a letter to God. Directions and paper will be sent home today. Please return the letters by Friday.

- There will be a Math test on Friday on Place Value on matching base ten blocks to numbers, writing how many tens and ones make up a number and identifying digits in the tens and ones places. A review will be sent home for homework Thursday night.

- Catholic Schools Week opens with Mass on Sunday at 9:30. Hope to see you there!

Have a great week!

Miss Tosti

Contraction Surgery

Last week we learned about contractions and how they work! We became "surgeons" and carefully removed the correct letter/s from the words is and not to join two words together. We then added our "scar" or apostrophe! The kids loved this activity and took their jobs very seriously :)
