Week of 11/9

 Dear Parents,

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to meet with me for conferences. Communication between the teacher and parents is crucial to the success of your child and I appreciate you giving up your time.
The kids have already grown so much since September and it is exciting to see their reading skills develop and grow. We will start learning long vowel patterns after we finish this story and start our second reading unit! Here are your reminders for the week:

- Our Virtual Monthly Mass for November will be on Tuesday at 9:00 am. All are welcome! (Virtual students may sign on at 10:35.)

- Chapter 4 Religion test will be on Wednesday. A study guide was sent home today.

- On Friday, the kids will record their Christmas Concert song! Please send them to school dressed in their Christmas/Sunday best! You do not have to send in a change of clothes. 

- Reminder there is no school on Monday, November 16th!

- Please make sure you have the apps Seesaw, IXL and Kids A-Z downloaded for your child at home! It is a good idea to start checking their Seesaw 1-2 nights a week to see what we are doing in school and to fix some mistakes on assignments that I will be sending back to them. Kids A-Z is also great for practicing reading at home! The kids know how to use both of these! This will be good practice for the two virtual days after Thanksgiving. 

Have a great week!

Miss Tosti
