Week of October 5, 2020

Here's a sample Saint Report for reference.

 Notes for the Week:

-Kindergarten has invited us to their pumpkin patch!  Farmer Bob from Sugartown Strawberries will be delivering pumpkins and setting them up on the convent lawn.  Each child will get to pick a pumpkin to bring home, followed by a pumpkin craft in the classroom.  The cost will be $5.00 per child.  Please send $5.00, cash only, by Friday, October 9th.  Thank you!

- Test folders will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign their math test and return on Wednesday.  All tests will remain in their "T" for Test folder.

- We will have our religion test on Thursday.  A study guide will be sent home.  Please review daily.

- We will have our reading test on How Animals Communicate this Friday, including our sight and spelling words.  The reader will come home this week to review the story at home.  Please continue to practice the spelling ang sight words, too.

- Information about the first grade Saints Celebration was sent home last Friday. Each child may choose any saint they want. The report will be due this Friday, so please work on it this week. Please make sure the report and the picture are done neatly. Don't forget to have your child practice reading their report because they will be sharing it with the class for a grade. The Saints Celebration will be on Friday, October 23rd at 9:00 am in the church, socially distanced. Each child is allowed to have 2 people to the church that morning. The rest of the school will watch virtually.

- Your child's login information for all of our apps was sent home last week.  Please keep this in a safe place. They may access the apps at home to practice reading and math. You can also check out everything we have been doing on Seesaw by signing in as them for now and viewing the 'journal'.

-Thursday October 15th will be picture day.  The forms will be sent home Monday and due by the 15th.  Tipping will not be doing the group class photo, they plan to make a collage type of class picture using the individual shots. 

Have a great week!
