FEBRUARY 8-12

Happy Super Bowl Sunday. We had a great week with all of the Catholic Schools Week activities. I think the highlight was Buddy Day. We met up again with our buddies on Thursday and did P.E. with lots of fun dances. It was great fun. Thank you to all the parents that helped transport children back from Mass.

A reminder that Friday, February 12 and Monday, February 15, are holidays and there will be no school. So we have 2 short weeks coming up.

Tuesday evening from 6-8p.m. will be the International Night in the auditorium. It is free and I hope to see you there. The first graders did a great job on their reports about Kenya. They will be on display.

On Thursday, February 11 there will be a Valentine's Party beginning at 1:30. A note went home on Friday with information.

Curriculum remains pretty much the same. In Language Arts we will start learning about the long vowel sounds. We will be taking a Reading test this week. It covers the reading skills that go with our Reading program and the workbook pages.

Progress reports will go out on Thursday. They need to be signed and returned the following week. This is a good time to remind your children how important it is to continue to study vocabulary, spelling words and math facts. Your child should always do their best work, whether it is copying something from the board or coloring. Please remind them about classroom, auditorium and playground rules.
Thank you.
