MARCH 28-APRIL 1
I enjoyed meeting with all of you for conferences. I saw some of you at the 50's Night. A fun time was had by all that attended.
Thursday will be free dress for $1.00 in honor of Mercy's birthday.
Friday will be the Mini Relay For Life. The first grade will be participating at 11:15-11:45. There will also be a penny war that day. The class with the most pennies wins. We can sabotage other classes with silver and paper money. The money collected will go to Relay For Life. Activities on nutrition, sun safety, anti-tobacco, and physical activity will be run by CJSF students. We are also collecting money during Lent for Relay For Life. If you have spare change and wish to donate, please send with your child. Thank you for your support.
Friday there will be an all school Mass at 8:15. Dismissal will be at 12:30.
Curriculum remains the same. Please work with your child on counting out money. I will be introducing the quarter on Wednesday.

MARCH 21-MARCH 25
This is very early because I will be going to the L.A. Religion Congress. Report cards went out on Thursday. This is also a good time to remind your child we are entering the last quarter of the school year. There is always room for improvement.
The first graders are presenting the morning Lenten Prayer on Tuesday in the auditorium. It will be at 8:00 in the morning. I hope you can attend.
The eighth grade dinner show is on Thursday evening. And on Saturday evening there is a Family 50's Night. It all promises to be great fun. I hope to see you there.
Monday is a full day. The remainder of the week dismissal will be at 12:30 because of conferences. I am looking forward to meeting with you. You may bring your child's report with you on your conference date and return it then. Next week the school is also holding a book fair in the library. Feel free to stop by and browse.
Curriculum remains the same.

MARCH 13-MARCH 18
If you were at the Ash Wednesday mass I think you will agree that the first graders did a great job. The first grade will be presenting the morning Lenten Prayer on Tuesday, March 21. Please join us if you can. Morning prayer begins at 8:00 every morning. Hopefully you are still talking to your children about the meaning of Lent and the things they can do to become closer to Jesus.
We are now beginning the 4th quarter. How time flies. Report cards will go out on Thursday, March 17. You may keep them and return them when we meet at conferences.
In Language Arts we are now in the Level 5 Reader. We continue to review vocabulary, plurals, possessives, cause and effect, sequencing, inferences, word endings of s, ed, and ing, blends, digraphs, short vowel sounds, and long vowel a and i, word families, abc order, nouns, verbs, dictation, and comprehension. This week we will be beginning our money unit in math. In Social Studies we are learning about where people live and what we will find in an atlas. In Science we will begin a unit on matter. Students will learn about solids, liquids, and gases. In Religion we will be discussing Lent, Holy Week, and the Stations of the Cross. In P.E. we have begun a bean bag unit.
This week there will be a half day on Thursday, March 17. It is a free dress, green and white, day for St. Patrick's Day. Dismissal will be at 12:30. There will be NO school on Friday.

This is late because I went to Bakersfield with the Decathlon Team. I am happy to report that the Our Lady of Mercy team placed first in the competition. That means they will go to state in May. We were all so excited for the students. They and their coaches have been working hard on this.
Wednesday is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. We have been talking about Lent. Lent is a time to grow and change. It is also a time to do something extra for someone else. Please talk about this at home. The first grade is responsible for the mass on Wednesday. Your child will be either reading, singing, or bringing up the gifts. I hope you can attend as it is a great way to begin the season of Lent.
This week is the end of the 3rd quarter. Thank you for making sure all of the reading envelopes were returned. Hopefully you asked some of the questions that are on the back of the envelope. Curriculum remains the same.
