Week of May 10, 2021

Please Note

- I hope you had a great Mother's Day and weekend! Last week we finished our third reading unit. This week we will start our fourth reader, but will be doing things a little differently to end out the year. For this last reader, we will do one story a week. Sight words and spelling words will still be given and should be studied, but they will not be "formally" tested on them. We will continue to take the reading tests as practice but they will not count as a grade. We decided to do this to keep the kids engaged with new stories and words each week! 

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

- No school on Thursday for the feast of the Ascension!

- Important dates for May/June:

      - Tuesday, May 18th - Virtual May Procession 

      - Tuesday, May 25th - First grade Mass at 9:00 am (Virtual for school but parents are welcome)

      - No school Thursday, 5/27th - Monday, 5/31st. School resumes Tuesday, June 1st.

      - Tuesday, June 8th - Doughnuts with Dudes at 8:30 am (weather permitting)

- Have a wonderful week!
