The ITBS testing is over with and I would like to thank all of the parents who supplied the daily snacks. They were thoroughly enjoyed by the children. It is hard to imagine that we are going into October already. Thank you to all that have returned the Progress Reports. I am still missing a few. Please make sure that you sign and return them.
We are moving along in Language Arts. We will be learning about contractions and adding the endings of (ed) and (ing) to a base word later on this week. We have started our 5th little reader. We continue to use the supplemental reader, Bells. We will spend one more week on short a and will then learn about short i. In math we will start timed tests whose sum can be up to 10 on Wednesday. I have shortened the time to one minute with the first set of timed tests. Your children are doing great. And they are getting faster which is why I have shortened the time. On Wednesday I will be giving them 2 minutes as this will be a new group of math problems. But I can sure tell you have been working at home. Thank you. We have started the Ecosystem in Science.
On Friday, October 1, we will have the all school Mass at 11:00. We will be celebrating the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. If you want to bring your pet to school for a blessing you are more than welcome to do that. Pets are to be brought at 11:00 for the Mass.
A few reminders:
Please make sure that your child does the homework that is sent home and returns it the following day.
When your child brings home a reader it must be returned the following day. Some of your children are not returning them.
Please read the planner and remember to sign it. Some are being returned with no signatures.
If your child wears a sweatshirt or sweater to school make sure a name is on it.
Dismissal is at 12:30 on Friday, October 1.

Have a great week. Thank you for all of your help and support. It is greatly appreciated. If you have read this blog, have your child write on a piece of paper what Johnny Appleseed's real name was and the date we celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day.
GOD LOVES YOU
