Week of February 22, 2021

Happy Birthday, Melina!

 Let's hope that we can get a full week of school in! Thank you again, for being so flexible with the virtual school. I really am impressed and proud of the kids during these days. I know it is not the easiest for them or you, but they are always prepared and I really appreciate it! Here are the reminders for the week:

- We will start a new unit in reading.  A new Reader's Notebook will be started today. 

- We will start doing Stations of the Cross this week and learn about what Lent is all about.

- We will have a test in math on Friday on double digit addition and subtraction (no regrouping) and math facts with sums to 20. A review sheet will be sent home as homework on Thursday.

- Picture retakes are this Wednesday.  Please send in the old pictures and have your child wear their winter uniform to school if they are having their picture retaken.

- For the next few weeks we will also be preparing and reviewing for the Terra Nova test which will be taken the week of March 15th.

- Be on the look out this week for some information on Leprechaun Traps! We will be building them in school during the week of March 15th. The kids just need to collect supplies at home and bring them in that week. The coming information will give you plenty of ideas! 

Congratulations to our Peacemaker, Bruce!
