Week of 10/24

Mrs. Harrity certainly got us into the Halloween spirit last week!

Dear Parents,

A big thank you to all of the grandparents and special friends who came out to make last Wednesday so special. It is always such a wonderful day! Be sure to check out the pictures below. If you would like me to email you a picture just let me know :). A lot is going on again this week so here are your reminders:

- The Saint Celebration is on Friday at 9:00am in the church. Students costumes are due on Thursday in a labeled bag. They are to wear their gym uniforms to school on Friday. Please be sure to sit on the sides of the church.

- There will be a Religion test on Thursday on Chapter 3. A study guide will be sent home.

- FYI the SKS Home and School Raffles are due Thursday.

- The Halloween-a-thon is Monday! Students are to wear their gym uniforms to school and they are to bring their costumes in a labeled bag. All make-up should be done at home before coming to school. If you could make sure your child knows how to put on their costume it would be a big help!

- Please be sure you sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences with are November 3rd and 4th.

This week we will continue our unit on addition. We will learn that adding is putting two parts together to make a whole. We will also learn the terms "addend" and "sum".  We will practice writing addition sentences (2 + 3 = 5) and drawing pictures to illustrate addition sentences. We will also start using ten frames.
