Dear Parents,

Last week we finished our third reading unit. This week we will start our fourth reader, but will be doing things a little differently to end the year. For this last reader, we will do one story a week. Sight words and spelling words will still be given and should be studied, but they will not be "formally" tested. We will continue to take the reading tests as practice but they will not count as a grade. We decided to do this to keep the kids engaged with new stories and words each week! 

Here are the other reminders for the week:

- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 17 on Thursday. A study guide will be sent home today.

- Be on the look out for an email about the May Procession next week! Students are to wear their winter uniforms (unless the weather looks too hot) and will meet in our classroom by 6:40 next Tuesday night.  After the May Procession you may pick your child up by the front doors of school. 

Important May/June dates:

May 16th - May Procession at 7:00 pm

May 18th - First Grade School Mass 9 am and Grandparents Day

May 19th - Annual Fund Party

May 25th-29th - Memorial Day Weekend break!

June 6th - Doughnuts with Dudes 8:30-9:30am
