Greetings and Happy New Year. This is a wonderful time to thank God for all the things we have in our lives, especially our children. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and vacation. Thank you to all of you for the many gifts I received. I loved them all. It was very thoughtful of you all and I appreciated them.
The 2nd quarter has ended and we are now beginning the 3rd quarter beginning on Monday. Can you believe it? Report cards will go home on Friday. This again is a great time to remind your children to always do their best work. This quarter I will be giving effort grades randomly on written/coloring work completed in the classroom. I am hoping this will help with your child's neatness. While I am talking about effort this is also a reminder that if a reader goes home for one night it needs to be returned. The same goes for homework. When these items are not returned it can affect your child's grade in Effort. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
We will have an all-school Mass on Friday at 8:15. Dismissal will be at 12:30.
In curriculum we will be starting our 4th Reading series. The reader will be a hardback book. Please do not go ahead with your child to read more stories. When your child has read the story before I have introduced it the introduction to the story gets lost. In Science we will be studying the weather. In Math we are still working on place value and double digit numbers. In Religion we will be discussing what happened after the birth of Jesus. In Spelling we will be working on short u and we will be starting dictation sentences instead of challenge words. We will be practicing that during class. In P.E. we will be starting a bean bag unit. Subtraction timed tests starting with the number 10 and lower will begin on
Monday.
