It was good to see all of you at our conferences. Things are getting busy. The first graders made the turkey table decorations for the Thanksgiving dinner this Wednesday evening at 6:30. It will be at the Parish Hall. Mrs. Bellini's class will be performing and they have been asked to be at the Parish Hall by 6:00. We hope to see you there for the delicious meal. At this time we would also like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. God has been so good to all of us.
A permission slip went home for The Nutcracker Ballet. Mrs. Bellini and Mrs. Mills' are taking care of the cost of the performance. We received a very nice check from the Halloween Carnival and this is one way we are using the funds for the class. Please make sure the permission slips are returned before we leave for Thanksgiving vacation.
In Language Arts we continue to work on vocabulary, plurals, word endings, short vowels a, i, o, categories, sequencing, main idea, comprehension, blends, digraphs, cause and effect and inferences. In Math we have been working on graphs and will be moving into place value. In Science we are studying the weather and the four seasons and in Social Studies we are talking about the United States and the Native Americans. We are working on a bean bag unit in P.E. and we are finishing up the saints in Religion. As you can see we are moving along.
A few reminders:
Please remember to put your child's name in his/her sweatshirt. Also please check the sweatshirts you have at home to make sure they belong to your child. We are missing a few that have names inside of them. Sometimes these sweatshirts are easily picked up by mistake. Thank you.
Please continue to sign the planners. We think you are doing a great job.
Please remind your child that if you send money with them for the cookie sale or the student store, that they are not to give their money to anyone else.

We have a full day on Friday. Dismissal is at 2:30 and at that time our Thanksgiving vacation begins. If you have read this blog have your child write down the name of the ship that the Pilgrims came in when they traveled to America. Have a great week. And thank you again for coming to the conferences and for all of your help and support. GOD LOVES YOU!
