FEBRUARY 21-FEBRUARY 25

I hope you are all enjoying your 3-day weekend. I want to thank all of the parents who helped with food and the booth on International Night. It was so appreciated. The fried banana cakes, watermelon and mangoes were a hit.

Thankfully most all of the students are back in school and well. Remember, there is no school on Monday.

Saturday, February 26, is the Parent's Club Mardi Gras Madness Auction. It begins at 5:00 at St. Patrick's Parish Hall. Your children have helped in making a rosary stepping stone. This item with a beautiful statue of Mary will be up for auction. It should be a fun evening and I hope to see you there.

In Language Arts we are reviewing cause and effect, sequencing, endings of s, ed and ing, short vowel sounds, long a sound, contractions, compound words, plurals, blends, digraphs, vocabulary and comprehension. In Math we are starting a new chapter on plane figures and solids. Our spelling words will be the ay word family. In Science we are learning about the water cycle and the 4 seasons. In Social Studies we are finishing up the United States. In P.E. we will be beginning a bean bag unit. In Religion we are learning about the Eucharist, the Golden Rule and forgiveness.

Please check the planners. Your child is going to have a reading assignment on Tuesday.
