OCTOBER 3-OCTOBER 7

We will have an all-school Mass on Tuesday, October 4, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. It will begin at 1:15 and will be held outside. We will hold the blessing of the pets after the mass. If you are bringing a pet there will be a separate seating section for you and your pet. Hope to see you there.

October is the Month of the Rosary. We will be meeting once a week to say the rosary as a school family. Hopefully you will find the time to say a rosary at home.

The time period for wearing uniform shorts has been extended to October 28. Students will be allowed to wear uniform shorts on Tuesday for the mass because it is outdoors.

The Student Council will be selling pink shoelaces during the month of October. They are $5.00 a pair and may be worn during the month of October in support of fighting breast cancer.

Curriculum remains for the most part the same. We are starting a unit on the United States in Social Studies. In Math we will begin subtraction. In Language Arts we have started Level 2 with our little readers. The reading vocabulary test will be given the week of October 10. The words this week will be included. Mrs. Bliss and I have been switching for art and P.E. It has been working out very well. When I am with her class in P.E. she is in my room teaching art.

We had a great assortment of leaves. Thank you for sending them in.

Dismissal will be at 12:30 on Friday. Thank you again for signing those planners. A reminder: when a homework paper is sent home please do only the side that your child has been asked to do. The other side is one that I have planned at another time. Thank you.
