Day 1 of Catholic Schools Week Fun!

Please Note

Happy Catholic Schools Week! We have a very busy week with lots of activities going on. Please refer to the schedule that was sent home from the office last week to stay on top of things. My gift to you (and me) is no homework this week expect for reviewing sight words and spelling words (our test will be NEXT week) and studying for a math test.  There will be enough time spent at home choosing outfits each day, I am sure.

Tuesday - Crazy 8s Day - accessorize your uniform with 8 items

Wednesday - dress down in red

Thursday - dress as your favorite book or movie character

Friday - dress in blue and white

- Please remember to send in a canned good throughout the week for the Souper Bowl of Caring.

 - Test folders will be sent home Tuesday. Please sign and return Wednesday.

- There will be a math test on Thursday on Place Value. They will have to find the value of digits in the tens and ones places and write numbers out in expanded form. We will be practicing all week in school.  Please review any worksheets that come home each night.

- We will have a Religion test on Chapter 9 on Friday, but we will take it together and they may use their books.

Have a great week!
