Week of 2/8

Dear Parents,

We had a great time celebrating Catholic Schools Week! Check out some pictures below of a few of the activities that we did last week. We have another busy week so please pay attention to the reminders:

- Tomorrow we will go to the Book Fair and have Grandparents/Special Friends day. Our class will be making a craft from 9:30-10:00 and then shop from 10:00-10:30. *If there are any changes due the possibility of snow tomorrow I will email you ASAP.

- Tomorrow night there is a Home and School meeting at 7:00pm. Sr. Pat is back to talk again. She was wonderful at the last meeting and if you can make it I can assure you that you won't be disappointed.

- Wednesday we will celebrate the beginning of Lent. We will have Mass at 9:00am if you would like to join us!

- We will have a small Valentine's Day party on Friday. We will make bags in school to put our valentines in. Please make sure you make a valentine for everyone in the class (if you need a class list let me know). If you would like to send them in early this week please feel free (just have them marked with your child's name). Thank you to who ever volunteered to send treats in!

- We are starting a new story this week and have new Magic Words. We will continue with Place Value and will start working with mentally adding and taking about 10 from numbers.

- We will continue reviewing for the Terra Nova tests as well.

That's it for now!
