OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 2

I hope you all enjoyed the Halloween Carnival. I think it was a great success. Remember students may wear costumes to school on Wednesday. A flyer went home last week regarding the costume contest. On Thursday there will be an all-school Mass. Mass begins at 8:15. Friday is a half day with dismissal at 12:30.

The first graders had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch. Thank you to all of you that were drivers. We do appreciate your help.

In Language Arts and Reading we have finished the 2nd level of readers. We are moving into the 3rd level. We will be working on short vowels a, i, and o. We will also be working on the digraph ch, cause and effect, blends, vocabulary and comprehension. We are really building on our vocabulary. It is so important that you work on vocabulary every night.

In math we are finishing up addition facts up to 12 and we will be going back to subtraction facts. We will also be starting a Native American unit. Mrs. Mills' class is also practicing for the Thanksgiving program.
