We have been very busy preparing for the Christmas Program. On Wednesday morning your children are to be dropped off at St. Patrick's Church by 8:00. Please do not take them to OLM School. I will be at the church by 7:30. We are having a dress rehearsal that morning. Your child will then be transported back to OLM School. Please make sure that you drop off a booster seat with your child. I will use all the parents that have said they would drive provided they have all of their forms in the office and have Safe Environment Training and have been fingerprinted. There will be a note in your child's planner as to what time you need to be at St. Pat's to pick up the children. I still do not have all the permission slips. If you have not turned it in...please do so.
Your children should be at the church Wednesday evening by 6:15. If you are there prior to 6:15 please make sure your child is sitting with you. They are not to be in their places until I am there. They are to wear nice clothes. It would be nice if the girls wore dresses. I would prefer no jeans for anyone. I know you will enjoy the Christmas Program. We have been working hard on it. Some of your children are still not singing. Please remind them to participate.
I have received many of the food items for the "Spirit of Christmas" dinner. Thank you to all. If you have not turned in anything please do so this week by Thursday.
The first grade is responsible for St. Vincent lunches on Friday.
Your child will not be bringing home their planner on Friday. I will have them leave it at school.
Friday is the end of the second quarter. Report cards will go out the week we return to school.
Friday is a half day with dismissal at 12:30. They will have a pizza lunch that day as a treat. Remember, there is NO extended care that day. The school closes down for Christmas vacation at 12:30.
There are no vocabulary words this week. It is a great time to review. Have a great week and a wonderful Christmas vacation. Remember the reason for the season. If you have read this blog have your child write down the color of the Advent candle that was lit this week on the Advent wreath. GOD LOVES YOU!

DECEMBER 10-DECEMBER 14
We have been busy preparing daily for the Christmas Program. Tuesday we will begin practicing without the song sheets. It is amazing how quickly your children have learned the words. Again, please encourage your child to participate.
On Wednesday morning my First Grade will be presenting the Advent morning prayer. It will begin at 8:00. You are all invited and welcome to come. The Advent morning prayer truly reminds us of the season of Advent.
Thank you to those that have turned in the sugar, flour, or salt for the "Spirit of Christmas" dinner. If you have not turned it in please do so within the next week. Another reminder: ornaments are being sold during the lunch hour for the Faith Families and their trees.
In curriculum we have started the 4th Reading series. The reader is a hardback book. PLEASE do not go ahead with your child to read more stories. When your child has read the story before I have introduced it the introduction and predictions get lost. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Remember that you should be reviewing vocabulary words and math facts with your child on a nightly basis. Some students are showing no improvement on the timed math tests.

DECEMBER 3-DECEMBER 7
Those of you who attended the Christmas Parade Saturday afternoon saw that our float depicted the true meaning of Christmas. In your child's planner I asked that you talk to your child about the season of Advent. Hopefully you did.
We are very busy preparing for the Christmas Program. In another week we will be practicing without the song sheets. Lots of the children are singing and trying very hard. Others are not doing anything even with the words in front of them. Please remind your child that this will be a big part of their music grade.
On Friday, December 7, there will be an all school Mass. It will begin at 8:15. All are invited to attend. Dismissal will be at 12:30.
Our class is responsible for bringing in sugar, salt or flour for the "Spirit of Christmas" dinner. You are also welcome to donate a wrapped Christmas gift for a child. Please be sure to write on the gift whether it is for a girl or boy and the age. Thank you for your help in this matter.
I am still missing several Progress Reports. They were to be signed and returned by Friday. If you have it at home please sign and return. Thank you.
Curriculum remains the same in Language Arts. We are finishing Level 3 and will be moving into a hardback reader next week. In Math we are working on our numbers 1-100. Please review this with your child. In Science we are beginning a unit on animals. In Social Studies we will begin a unit on the United States and we will also be discussing Christmas customs around the world.
