Catholic Schools Week is over and a great time was had by all the first graders. We think the highlight was definitely Buddy Day. It was wonderful to see one of our own first graders, Spencer Wolf, be baptized and become a member of the Catholic Church. Another thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Pellicano for getting the VIA bus for our ride back to OLM School.
This week we are hopefully back to normal. There is a minimum day on Friday, with dismissal at 12:30.
International Night is Thursday, 6:00-8:00 p.m. The reports that were turned in by your children were very good and their classmates are enjoying learning about their respective countries of France and Germany.
Curriculum remains the same, but there will be a focus this week on France and Germany in Social Studies.
Mrs. Mills' class has free dress on Tuesday because of the boxtops that were turned in by her class.
Sometime within the next several weeks Mrs. Bellini and Mrs. Mills will be sending home reading packets on Monday and Tuesday nights. The book inside the packet is to be read by the student to a parent. The parent is then asked to initial the reading packet on the front and it is to be returned the following day. It is very important that the packet be returned as it is to go home with another child the following day. We are starting out with easy reading. Easy reading is a good way for your child to become more fluent in reading. Asking questions of your child about the story is also very helpful in reading. Remember all questions asked are good questions. So be looking for the reading packets.

If you have read this blog find out what the official name of the groundhog is that comes out on Groundhog's Day and have your child write it down on a piece of paper and give it to their teacher. Also let us know whether he saw his shadow or not. The name is a long one. Thanks again for all of your support along the way. GOD LOVES YOU!
