Week of 1/23

The kids got back into their bag of books and practiced reading aloud 

to their stuffies and into their reading phones!

Dear Parents,

The kids have been doing really well with memorizing the long vowel patterns and spelling words. I know these words are harder and trickier but the kids have been finding the different patterns we have learned so far everywhere! There will only be 8 spelling words this week. We have another full we before Catholic Schools Week starts on Sunday. Look below for an outline of what to expect!

Here are the reminders for the week:

- We will have a math test on 10 more/less and 1 more/less on Tuesday. A review will be sent home for homework tonight. The kids have been doing great with this!

- We will have a Religion test on Chapter 9 on Friday. A study guide was sent home today.

- Tests folders will be sent home on Wednesday. Please sign and return them on Thursday. 

- Catholic Schools Week begins at Mass on Sunday! Be on the look out for an email with more detailed information.

- Friday will be a free Eagles dress down day! Go Birds!

Some special notes:

* Send in canned goods for the Souper Bowl of Caring all week!

* Send in winter coats all week- more information will be emailed home about this
