Week of 10/25

Dear Parents,

It was great to see you at the Saints Presentation on Friday and some of you at the Fall Social on Saturday! The kids did such a great job and I am so proud of them. We hope you enjoyed it! Check out the pictures of their fabulous costumes below! We will close out October this week with some Halloween fun on Friday! Here are your reminders for the week:

- If you did not sign the permission form or pay for the field trip next week please do so by this Wednesday! Congrats to Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Ryan, and Mrs. Dwyer who were picked to be our chaperones! Thanks to all of the volunteers!

- For the first 3 stories we kept the sight and spelling words to 6 each so that they kids could get used to studying them and to prepare for the test. Since they have been doing such a great job we will now do 10 sight words and 8 spelling words per story.

- If you have an extra pair of headphones at home could you please send them in for your child sometime this or next week? They are very helpful when we use the chromebooks! They will be returned at the end of they year. Thanks!

- Test folders will be sent home tomorrow. Please return them on Wednesday!

- We will have a Religion test on Chapter 3 on Thursday. A study guide was sent home today.

- On Friday, we will celebrate Halloween! The kids can come dressed in their costumes over their gym uniform. Our parade will begin at 8:30 if you would like to come see us!

- Just a reminder to mark your calendar for Conferences next Thursday night (11/4) and Friday (11/5). Please note conferences are optional and will be held in person and virtually. Please make sure you schedule it in the correct time block:

Thursday: in person until 6:30, virtual until 8pm

Saint Presentation reminders:

- The presentation will be at 9:00am on Friday! Family members are welcome in church, but please make sure you are wearing your mask and socially distanced in the pews.

- The kids are to come to school dressed in their costumes over their gym uniforms (sneakers are fine).

- Please make sure robes are not too long as we will be walking to and from the church. Also, bobby pins tend to not keep veils on so if you can attach them to a headband that would be great.

- The presentation will be live streamed on the Parish Youtube page.

That's all for now! Hope to see you Friday!

Week of 10/4

The kids practiced making 10 in math last week! They sang

a catchy tune to help them remember the numbers.

Our comprehension skill this week for our story is "Main Idea". We played a fun game

guessing the "Main Idea" out of our different mystery bags!

Drew and Christina did an excellent job

identifying the mystery main idea!

Go Mimi and Lucy!

Brooke and Paddy were ready to lead the class

in the mystery main idea.

In math, we used manipulatives to help us visual different ways to make 10!

Mae had fun stacking her different cubes to make 10.

Great job, Nolan!

Mrs. Groseclose was our first mystery reader of the year!

The kids loved the excitement. If you have not signed up already please do so!

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:

- Information about the first grade Saints Presentation was sent home last week. Each child may choose any saint they want! The report will be due this Friday, 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 Presentation will be on Friday, October 22nd at 9:00 am in the Church. Families are welcome to come to church, we just ask that you be socially distanced and wear a mask. The school will attend virtually.

- Friday will be a dress down day for JDRF. Please send in $1.00 to dress down. We will be walking with our buddies in the morning to raise awareness for Juvenile Diabetes.

- 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."

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