I hope to see you tomorrow at Open House. You will be able to see textbooks and some of your child's work. There will also be a delicious dinner served in the auditorium. Open House is 11:00-1:00. The dinner is over at 2:00.
The OLM catalog sale will kick off on Friday. Look for the information that your child will be bringing home.
There will be free dress on Tuesday for $1.00. The proceeds go to the SPCA.
There will be an all-school Mass on Friday. Remember shorts are not allowed on mass days. Dismissal is at 12:30.
Thank you so much for signing those planners. Your children have really gotten into the routine of filling them out as soon as they get settled in the classroom in the morning.
At the present we are reviewing the letters of the alphabet. We have started our reading program and are also using a supplemental reader. On Friday your child's first reading packet will go home. There will be a percentage in the corner. That is to let you know what the grade was on those workbook pages. I will be sending home a letter explaining the grading system on those pages. The workbook pages go right along with the story that we are reading.
In Math we are reviewing number order and number words. Your child should be able to read the number words zero to twelve. They do not have to spell them. The first timed test will be given on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Sums will be no higher than 10. There will be 25 problems and they will have 3 minutes to complete as many as they can. Eventually I will shorten the time.
In Social Studies we are studying about communities, rules, laws, and leaders. We will be finishing this week and will then start the Ecosystem in Science.
In Religion we are learning about Jesus as the Good Shepherd, the Church community, parishes, the Bible, Bible stories and we will then begin God's creation.

A REMINDER: Please talk to your child about money and the snacks that they bring to school. The money and snack is for them. They are not to be giving away their money or snack. I know they all want to be generous but I want to stop any problems before they begin. I have talked to them and I would appreciate it if you would also review this with them.
No more news at this time. Once again, thank you for all of your support. It is greatly appreciated. If you have read this blog, have your child write on a piece of paper the name of the mayor of Merced. Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
