NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 4

I hope you are all having a great week. Thank you to all the parents that helped with the Powwow and the Thanksgiving Feast. A fun time was had by all. When we come back to school the first graders are going to be busy practicing for the Christmas Program which will be held, Wednesday evening, December 9th at St. Patrick's Church. Hopefully your child has been working on learning the words to the songs that we will be singing. On Monday when we come back we are going to try to rehearse without the words.

Progress reports went home last Friday. Please make sure that you sign and return them. Thank you.

Curriculum remains the same in Reading. In Math we are beginning a unit on tens and ones. In Social Studies we will be discussing different Christmas traditions in other countries. In Religion we are finishing up the saints and will be learning about Advent. The entire first grade will be saying the morning Advent prayer on Friday, December 4. You are all invited to attend. It will begin at 8:00.
Friday, December 4 is also a minimum day with dismissal at 12:30.
