Please Note
- I hope you had a great weekend! I can't believe we are in the last full week of September already. We will continue working on our routines, but the kids are settling in and doing great! We have a relatively calm week, but there are numerous reminders.
- Just a reminder to review all spelling and high-frequency words each night to prepare for the weekly Friday tests. There will also be a comprehension and grammar portion that we will prepare for in school. There are grammar pages in the reading copybook, along with their words, for them to review as well.
- Homework has been great! Thank you for checking your child's homework for neat handwriting and completeness. We've been working on writing neatly and in lowercase letters in school, using the proper lines, and it is helpful when you continue to reinforce this at home. Please have them use pencil only, unless the directions call for coloring. There are now pages in the back of their reading copybooks that show the correct letter formation. If anyone would like a packet for extra handwriting practice, just let me know. Thank you for your help with this.
- A paper explaining the Saints Celebration will be sent home this week. Please read it carefully and mark down the dates. The report will be due on Wednesday, October 8th and the celebration will be on Friday, October 24th.
- We have our first field trip planned to Riverbend on Monday, October 20th. You will be invoiced for the cost of the trip through your FACTS account. The invoice will have the permission waiver in the form, and payment of the fee will complete both steps. We will need up to 5 chaperones for our class. The trip will run from approximately 9:45 to 1:00. Sorry, no younger siblings are permitted. If you have your clearances and are interested, please email me back and I will pick from a hat next week.
- Looking ahead, winter uniform will begin on Monday, October 6th.
-Have a great week!
