AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 4

Greetings! Your children have had a good week and they thoroughly enjoyed "free dress", the Student Council assembly, the catalog kick-off, and the raffle drawing for the lunch with Lancey. A kindergarten student won the lunch with Lancey.

Friday is an All-School Mass day. Remember that your child may not wear shorts on a mass day. Every Friday the Student Council will be selling healthy snacks at the morning recess. Your child is in charge of their own money. Just a reminder: talk to your children about eating their own snack. Sometimes children want to share which is great. But there is a problem: there is never enough to go around to all of the children. Then we have hurt feelings. Thank you.

Usually on Monday your child will be bringing home a list of new vocabulary words.
They are always to be signed and returned the next day. Please look for them. This Tuesday your child will be bringing home a math homework paper. Please go over the directions with your child and help them if needed. Every week your child will be bringing home a little paperback reader. They are to read this story to an adult and the reader is always to be returned the following day. For some I realize the reading might be very easy. That is good. It is always good to be reading stories that are easier in order to increase reading fluency.

I appreciate the fact that some of you have made word cards with 3x5 cards. Please continue to work on them at home. It will greatly help your child. If you have read this blog please have your child bring in an orange for their teacher. Last week thank you for all the apples. I cut them up and we ate them for snack. Thank you. Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
