JANUARY 19-JANUARY 23

We hope you are enjoying your 3-day weekend. We are moving right along in the First Grade. On Tuesday we will be watching the Inauguration. You may want to talk to your child a little about it.

The following week will be Catholic School's Week. We have a busy week scheduled. The mass on Saturday evening at 5:00 will be the kick-off. Please have your children wear their uniforms when attending mass next weekend. A first grade parent has generously donated a VIA bus to transport all of the first graders back to OLM School after the All School Mass that is scheduled at 8:15 on Friday, January 30. Permission slips will be going out this week. Please sign them and return them by Monday, January 26. Nest week's blog will give you a detailed list of all the activities that will be going on for Catholic School's Week.

Our curriculum remains the same. Please keep up the good work in signing the planners and returning them the following day. Remember to have your children review vocabulary words on a daily basis. Your children also need to be reviewing math addition and subtraction facts up to 12.
