MARCH 30-APRIL 3

This the big weekend of the Follies. An assortment of people have been working on it, putting it together. It is bound to be entertaining. We hope to see you there.

There will be an all-school Mass on Friday, April 3, with dismissal at 12:30. Curriculum remains pretty much the same. In Math we are now working on money and it is very helpful if you spend time with your child counting out different groups of coins. This is expected of them in the classroom and on their worksheets. We are also covering a nutrition unit in Science. This will be our last list of vocabulary words. From then on it is review. Some of your children need to be reviewing vocabulary words on a nightly basis.

A few reminders:
Please check your child's folder and backpack for homework.
Please look over your child's work packet that goes home on Friday.
Please sign any papers that come home and need to be signed and returned.
