FEBRUARY 4-FEBRUARY 8

We hope those of you who attended the auction had a great time. The first grade auction items were well received. Thank you to the parents who took on those two projects and saw that it got done. A job well done!

Catholic Schools Week was a huge success. Your children had a great time and we met up with their buddies several times. We are sure they shared with you about all the events that took place.

The first grade is putting on the Ash Wednesday mass at school. Some of the first graders will be reading while others will be bringing up the gifts. It is the beginning of Lent so we will be talking in Religion about things we can do during Lent to help us learn and grow. Please talk to your child about one thing they can really work on during Lent. We would like to see your child do something for someone rather than giving up something. This is just a thought. Because we are in the season of Lent the Valentine's party will be low-key. It will be held on February 14 and the room mothers will be in charge. Please make sure your child has a valentine for every child in his or her class.

We will be having a math test this week on money. We will then be beginning time in Math. We start out with the o'clock and then move to half-past the hour.

The other subjects are the same as we continue to review. Another reminder about vocabulary words: please review on a nightly basis.

There will be no school on Monday, February 11, or Monday, February 18.
