FEBRUARY 23-FEBRUARY 27

We hope you all enjoyed your week's vacation. Thank you to the parents who helped out with the Valentine's Day Party. Everyone had a great time. And now we are back for a short week. Lent begins this week. Please talk to your children about Lent and something they might do during the Lenten season that will help someone else. We will be discussing it in the classrooms. The Ash Wednesday Mass begins at 8:15 and it is being planned by Mrs. Bellini's class. You are all invited to attend. It is a good way to begin the Lenten season.

Remember dismissal is at 12:30 on Thursday and there is no school on Friday. The teachers will be attending the Religion Congress in Anaheim.

Our curriculum remains the same. We are not sending home vocabulary words this week as the story we will be starting we will work on for 2 weeks. That gives your children some extra time to work on vocabulary. We are about ready to test vocabulary again. The first graders were given a Reading Assessment that goes with our Reading program. Please continue to work with your child on vocabulary and math facts.

If you have read this blog have your child write down 2 doubles addition facts. Have a good week and remember: GOD LOVES YOU!
