I hope you have been enjoying your Easter break. Friday, May 6, is Grandparent's Day. It is also a day when we honor Mary, the Mother of Jesus. The first grade along with the 8th grade will be participating in the May Crowning. The May Crowning will begin at 8:00 and you are all welcome to join us. During the rest of the morning, breakfast will be served, classes will be providing entertainment and grandparents will be visiting the classrooms. It will be a very busy morning but well worth it. Dismissal will be at 12:30.
We will be part of the entertainment for the grandparents. I need your child to bring in 2 metal spoons, which we will be using. The spoons need to be larger than a teaspoon. Soup spoons and tablespoons would be great. Please have your child bring them in as soon as possible.
Saturday, May 7, is First Communion for the second graders. The first grade is responsible for the reception following the First Communion Mass. A note will be going home to let you know what you are to send to school. I will need several parents to help serve on Saturday. I will also need several parents to take the food and sodas to the church on Thursday morning at 8:15. If you can help out please let me know. Thank you for your cooperation.
We only have 4 weeks left until the school year is over. Wow! It has gone by so fast. Please continue to work with your child on vocabulary, reading and math facts.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation. If you have read this blog have your child write a sentence about something they did over Easter vacation. GOD LOVES YOU!

APRIL 18-APRIL 22
Well the Follies are over and they were a great success. I am sure you enjoyed the show if you were able to go see it.
The first graders were so busy last week presenting the Stations of the Cross. They did a great job. Now we are preparing for the May Crowning that will be on Grandparent's Day on May 6. The 8th grade will once again be working with us. Please make sure that your child learns the words to the Hail Mary song. All first graders will be participating in the May Crowning.
The first grade is also responsible for the reception after the second grade's First Communion on May 7. I will be sending home a note to let you know what you are to bring. It will be either cookies or 7-Up. I will also need 2-3 parents to help out on that day and I will need 2 parents to take things over to the church on Thursday morning, May 5th. If you can help let me know. Thank you.
This is Holy Week and a good time to talk to your child about the events that occurred during that week. Hopefully you attended Mass on Palm Sunday. We have been discussing all of these events in class. The students have also made a Stations of the Cross booklet.
On Holy Thursday there will be a prayer service here at school at 8:00 in the morning in the auditorium. You are all invited to attend.
Curriculum remains the same. Continue to have your child review vocabulary words and read at home.
If you have read this blog have your child give Mrs. Mills' a "thumbs up". Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU. HIS SON, JESUS, DIED FOR US ON THE CROSS.

We have a very busy week this week. On Wednesday we will be going to Park Merced for a prayer service and Stations of the Cross. Then on Friday we go to Emeritus and the Hampshire for a prayer service and Stations of the Cross. On Friday morning at 8:00 the first grade and 8th grade will be presenting the Stations of the Cross for the school. I do hope you can all attend. I will be sending a note home to let you know about times for driving. Thank you for all of your support.
The Follies will be held on Friday evening at 7:30 at Golden Valley High. They will be presented again on Saturday at 2:00 and at 7:30 in the evening. The Pancake Breakfast will be held on Sunday morning at the Parish Hall. It begins at 7:00 and ends at noon. Hope to see you there.
In Language Arts we continue to work on vocabulary, cause and effect, sequencing, contractions, compound words, digraphs, short and vowel sounds, endings of s, ed, and ing, possessives, summarizing, blends, problem solving, following directions and comprehension.

APRIL 4-APRIL 8
The Mini Relay For Life went well and the students had a good time. We will not know how we did in the penny war until sometime this week.
I sent home permission slips for prayer services that we will be participating in during the week of April 11th. Please make sure they are signed and returned by Tuesday of this week. I will be using all of you that have said they could drive. On Friday, April 15th, the first graders will also be participating in the living Stations of the Cross at school for morning prayer. It is always a wonderful prayer service and reminds us truly of the meaning of Lent. I hope you can attend.
This Wednesday evening is the Spring Program. The first grade is not participating in this program but it is always entertaining to come and watch.
Curriculum remains the same. In another week I will be starting math timed tests with a mix of addition and subtraction. Please make sure your child is reviewing all math facts whether addition or subtraction. There will be no vocabulary words this week. Continue to review the old ones. Continue to work on counting out money using quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. One of the areas I am really working on with your children is listening and following directions. This also includes reading directions and following them correctly. You can also work on this at home.
A reminder: some planners are not being signed, homework is not being returned, and reading envelopes are coming back not signed, or the book is missing. These are all entered into my grade book and affects your child's grade. Please make sure you check their homework and their planner.
Thank you for all of your support. If you have read this blog have your child give me a "high five." Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
