This will be a short week with dismissal at 12:30 on Thursday. The entire school will close down on Thursday at 12:30 for Easter vacation. There will be NO extended care. School will resume on April 8.
I enjoyed meeting with all of you for conferences. Continue to work on vocabulary with your children and to remember to sign the reading packets and the planners. Some parents are forgetting to sign.
The first and eighth graders did a wonderful job in presenting the living Stations of the Cross. If you came I hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you to all the Community Helpers who have come and shared. The children have really enjoyed hearing about your jobs.
When we return from Easter vacation on Monday, April 8, you need to know that we are in charge of the second grade's First Communion. Students will be asked to bring either cookies or soda. The First Communion mass begins at 9:00 on Saturday, April 13. I will need 2-3 parents who will be willing to take all the cookies and soda to the church on Friday, April 12, in the morning at 8:00. You will be in charge of setting up everything. I will then need 3 parents to help with the reception on Saturday, April 13. I will be sending home a note when we get back from Easter break.
The last vocabulary list is going home this week. We have finished with money and will begin telling time on Monday.
The State of the School Address by Mrs. Blackburn will be Tuesday evening in the auditorium at 6:30. Please try to attend.
During this Holy Week of Lent please try to attend some of the church services. Remember Jesus suffered and died for all of us. It is a good time to start a discussion with your child about the events that occurred during this week.

This will be a short week with dismissal at 12:30 Monday through Friday. The Scholastic Book Fair will begin on Monday and run through Friday. Our class will preview the Book Fair on Tuesday. Report cards went home on Friday. You may sign and return them this week when I meet with you for conferences.
Thank you to all the drivers that helped out on Wednesday going to Park Merced. The first grade along with the 8th grade will be presenting the living Stations of the Cross at school on Friday morning at 8:00. All first graders will be participating. I hope you can come. It is a wonderful reminder of what Lent is all about.
Please continue to work with your children at home counting out money. We have added quarters and will be spending this week on quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. Next week we will begin telling time.
Thank you to those of you that have come in and shared your jobs with the first graders. It has been a great experience for them. More of you are coming in this week and we are looking forward to it.
Thank you for having your child read the book in the reading packet and answering the question. I tried to star all the answers so you knew that I had read them. Try to vary the questions your child chooses to answer as some are much easier than others. Please have your child answer the question in a complete sentence. Remember to initial the reading packet.
There are no vocabulary words this week. Continue to review the ones that have already gone home.
Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!

MARCH 11-MARCH 15
We have finished the 3rd quarter and now are on the home stretch. Once again this is a good time to remind your children there is always room for improvement. Several suggestions: listen to and follow directions correctly, take your time and always turn in your best work, complete your work, take out a book and read or write in your journal when you are finished with your work. Do not bother your neighbors by talking. Report cards will go home on Friday. You may sign and return them when we meet at conferences.
Thank you to all that drove to The Hampshire/Emeritus on Friday. We will going to Park Merced on Wednesday. I will be using all that have signed up to drive.
Thursday evening is the 8th Grade Dinner Show. It is always quite entertaining and the dinner is delicious. Hope to see some of you there.
On Monday and Tuesday a reading envelope will go home with a book in it. Your child is to read the book to you. There is a list of questions on the back of the packet. You should go over them with your child. Your child is to pick one question and answer it. The answer will be written in the planner. This is considered homework. Therefore it is very important that your child complete this assignment, you initial the envelope and return it the following day. Some of the books are easier than others. Easy books are good for improving reading fluency. Harder books challenge your child.
We continue to review counting money. Some of your children are having difficulties. Please work with them every night. We will begin working with a quarter on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I had a good response for Community Helpers. I will be jotting a note in your child's planner to set up a day and time. Thank you for volunteering to come in. It is not too late to turn in your slip if you are still interested in coming in to speak to the class.
St. Vincent lunches are to be brought in on Friday.
There will be an all-school mass on Friday at 8:15. You are welcome to join us.
A reminder: items for the D Street Shelter are due by Friday. This is our Service Project. Please be generous. Thank you.

MARCH 4-MARCH 8
Those of you who had first graders presenting the morning Lenten prayer last week...they did a great job and portrayed Jesus' miracle well. On Friday, March 8, we will be traveling to Hampshire and Emeritus to present the living Stations of the Cross with the 8th graders. If you have signed up to drive I will need you. If you signed up to drive to Park Merced on Wednesday, March 13, I will need you.
The 3rd quarter will end on Friday with report cards coming out on Friday, March 15.
In math we are beginning a chapter on money. You can help your child by working with pennies, nickels and dimes this week. Make sure you have your child count out the money. On daily assignments and money homework I require the students to write out the amounts counting on. This is the best way for them to learn counting money. Do not work with a quarter this week. A math vocabulary paper will be going home on Monday. Please review the highlighted math words with your child. They are words that will be used and will be on worksheets and math tests.
Beginning next week, every Monday and Tuesday a reading envelope will go home with a little book in it. Your child is to read the book to you. There is a list of questions on the back of the packet. You should go over the questions with your child. Your child is to pick one question and answer it. The answer will be written in the planner. This is considered homework.
