The OLM catalog sale will kick off on Wednesday with an assembly at 1:30. Your child will be bringing home all of the information.
On Friday, September 7, the bishop will be here to celebrate the all-school Mass. It will begin at 8:15. No shorts are allowed on that day. All are welcome to attend. Dismissal will be at 12:30 that day. On Saturday, September 8 is the birthday of the Blessed Mother.
Thank you for the great job you are doing in signing those planners. The students have really gotten into the groove of writing in them every morning.
Curriculum remains the same. We are doing a lot of review in Language Arts. We have started the third reader. Your children seem to be doing well with the vocabulary words. On Friday the first reading packet went home with a note regarding the grading of the packet.
Timed math tests will begin on Tuesday. I will give them a week of practice before they are entered as part of their math grade.
Spelling words will go home the week of September 10 and their first practice test will be on Thursday, September 13. A note will go home with the first set of spelling words.
The Our Lady of Mercy Foundation is hosting their annual Wine and International Food Tasting on Saturday, September 8. It is always a fun event and is a great way to meet people. For tickets call the office at 722-7496.
REMINDERS:
There seems to be some confusion on buying pizza. The pizza from Pizza Hut MUST BE PREORDERED. Your child can not come to school that day and buy a pizza lunch. A separate slip goes home with a deadline for the order. Please be aware of it. On the day of the Pizza Hut lunch I hand out the preordered pizza slip to each child who has ordered it. I hope this clarifies this for all.
Remind your children that their job in the classroom is to listen while I am teaching, to follow directions and to complete their work in the allotted time. They are to always do their very best work. Randomly I will select a paper to give them an Effort grade. The effort grade includes name on paper, following directions correctly and neat handwriting and coloring. Some students are not returning their homework or their readers the following day. That is also a part of their Effort grade.
When a math paper goes home with math vocabulary please review these words nightly with your child. These are words that are going to be used for the chapter. This page comes right out of our math workbook and has a short note for the parents.
