Week of 10/5

    Room 4 practicing a new song to help them master

              sums of 10!

Dear Parents,

Happy October! The kids are settling in and have been doing a great job. I cannot believe we are finished with September already. October will certainly fly by as well. 

Here are your reminders for this week:

-Miss Rooney is teaching virtually this week:) Christy LoPiccolo will be the aide present in the room each day.

- 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 10/9, 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. Each child is allowed to bring 2 people to the Church that morning. The rest of the school will watch virtually.

-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

- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 2 on Thursday. A study guide will be sent home today.

- There will be a Spelling and Reading test on Friday for our story "How Animals Communicate." 

-Math tests will be sent home in your child's test folder on Tuesday 10/6. Please sign and return the test by Wednesday 10/7.

-Join in on the new Family 2020 Scarecrow Competition! If you'd like to compete, build your scarecrow submission at home and drop at SKS on October 12th or 13th in the morning. Be sure it is labeled with your family last name. There will be 4 categories to win. Most Spooky, Most School Spirit, Cutest and Most Funny. There will be judging by the children on the week of October 26th. The scarecrows will be displayed around the school campus up until Halloween!

-Picture Day Forms were sent home on Tuesday 10/6 please fill out the form and return them back to school.

I think that is all for this week! Please let me know if you have questions about anything!

Miss Rooney
