On Friday we got to meet and work with our 8th grade
buddies on The Wish Tree activities!
Paddy and Molly enjoyed their time together!
Dear Parents,
We survived our first full week of first grade! I hope the kids enjoyed it and are settling into school and our routines. We are a work in progress but we had a great week! I hope that you are continuing to set routines at home and are giving your child more responsibility. The more we work on this the more independent they will become!
Here are your reminders for the week:
- If you could please send your child in with a few extra masks each week it would be really helpful or if you would like to send some in for the class that would be great too. We have been going through a lot already! Thanks for your help with this!
- We will have our first virtual school Mass on Wednesday at 9:00am. Feel free to join us at Mass or virtually on the parish youtube site.
- We will have our first Religion test on Wednesday. Normally a study guide will be sent home for your child to study, but this week we will take it together in school to get used to it! I did send one home today if you want to start practicing with your child!
- We will have our first reading test on the story "Jack and the Wolf" this Friday. I will read all of the questions and answers for the first few tests. The reader will be sent home this week so you can read and review the story at home.
- Our first Spelling test will also be on Friday. We have been practicing a lot with short A words in school. Please review the words at home each night as well.
- Sight Words will also be tested on Friday so please make sure you are reviewing them each night.
- Mystery Reader sign up dates will go out tonight! I will provide a link and instructions on how to do so. Once every one signs up for one date I will let you know and you can sign up for a second if you want to!
I think that is it for this week! Please email me if you have any questions!
