Week of 11/22

 

Last week, we wrote cards for Mrs. Hallinan's marine friend in

North Carolina. We loved learning all about Veteran's Day!

Dear Parents,

There are only 16 school days until Christmas break! I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by. This week we will start our new reading unit, learn the long a sound and do Thanksgiving themed activities. We will also have our class party on Tuesday! Thanks to everyone who donated treats and activities! 

I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving! Please know that the entire SKS faculty and staff are so grateful and thankful for your support!

A few reminders:

- No school on Monday, November 29th!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Week of 11/8

Dear Parents,

We had the best time on our field trip last week! Check out a few of the pictures :) Thanks to everyone for taking the time to meet with me for conferences. Communication between the teacher and parents is crucial to the success of your child and I appreciate you giving up your time. The kids have already grown so much since September and it is exciting to see their reading skills develop and grow. We will start learning long vowel patterns after we finish this story and start our second reading unit! Here are your reminders for the week:

- Our Virtual Monthly Mass for November will be on Tuesday at 9:00 am. All are welcome! 

- Chapter 4 Religion test will be on Friday. A study guide was sent home today.

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

- Your child's login information to IXL will be sent home this week! We are waiting on 2 other apps that are funded through the state to come through and will send those logins home as soon as we get them!

Have a great week!

Mrs. Hallinan

Pin the nose on the pumpkin:)

Our Halloween bulletin board was festive with 

our October writing "What should Mr. Tosti be for Halloween..." and our scarecrows. 

Lots of kids thought Mr. T should be a hot dog this year!

A few thought Mr. T would make a good witch!

Dear Parents,

I hope you had a great Halloween! We had a fun time celebrating on Friday and the costumes were great! Thank you to all those who sent in supplies to make our class party so fun! We have a short and busy week with our field trip and conferences. Since it is short week there will be no homework! Here are your reminders for the week:

- Tomorrow is our field trip to Highland Orchards! The kids can wear their gym uniforms to school and I would make sure they have a coat or vest because it will be a brisk day and we will be outside all morning! We will return and eat a late lunch at school! It should be a great trip!

- As the weather gets chillier please remember to send your child in with a coat, hat, gloves etc. Don't forget to label everything too! Thanks for you help with this!

- We will finish up the story "Dr. Seuss" but there will be no reading or spelling test this week.

- There will be a math test on subtraction on Thursday. We will review in school today and tomorrow afternoon when we get back from our trip! The kids have been doing really well with it!

- No school on Friday due to Parent/Teacher Conferences. I look forward to meeting with you all! If you have signed up for a virtual conference I will send home a conference sheet in your child's home folder and a zoom link on Thursday! Please have it with you for the conference. 

Thursday November 4th - in person until 6:30, virtual until 8pm


 Friday November 5th - in person until 12 noon, virtual until 3pm

Have a great week!
