We are done with the ITBS testing. Thank you to all of you that brought snacks for the first graders. It was really appreciated. The quarter will be ending this Friday. There is a Safe Environment Training on Monday at 6:00 in the auditorium. If you want to drive for field trips you must have attended one of these meetings. We know that many of you have already done so. Picture retakes will take place on Tuesday, October 7. Please make sure you return the original photos. And Saturday, October 11, Think Pink takes place at Morning Glory at 11:00.
The month of October is the month of the Rosary. We strongly encourage you to say the rosary at home as a family. We will be praying the rosary at school every Thursday morning. Your children are welcome to bring a rosary from home. We also have ones they may use if they do not have their own.
The first graders are moving right along. In Reading we have finished the first level and are moving into the second level. We continue to work on cause and effect, categories, the digraph th, contractions, drawing conclusions, sequencing, plurals, the ed and ing endings, short a and short i, comprehension and vocabulary. In Math we are still working on addition. The timed tests on addition facts are going well. In Science we are still working on the ecosystem. In Social Studies we will be beginning a new unit on the United States. In Religion we will be starting to learn about the saints.
