Great News!!  Our class was the big winner today!  We won the Box Top competition and will be enjoying dress down days, extra recesses, and an ice cream party too!  I also got a $25 gift card to use at Meijer on indoor recess games.  I'm pretty sure the Moyars family put us over the edge.   Thank you to everyone for helping us receive this honor.  It was very exciting when our class was called this morning!

 

Some other great news is that Gladys from the religious ed. office let me know that everybody in this class has their baptismal certificate and “love letter” turned in on time!  Thank you so much for being on top of these things.  I know how hectic life is, and any extra thing can be difficult to remember.  I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning for the Reconciliation retreat.  Meet in the church at 10:00AM.  There needs to be one parent in attendance with your child.

 

We started practicing for our class mass today.  This will take place at the mass on Wednesday, November 7^th at 8:30AM.  Everybody is welcome!  All of the students have a part for this mass.  Please make sure that your child is practicing his/her reading out loud at home over the weekend.

 

Please continue to read and do First in Math even over the weekend.  Some other ideas for practicing math facts are rolling dice, getting numbers from playing cards, and even flashcards.  To learn math facts, you need to practice!

 

I will be testing all students on his/her home address next week.  I do expect them to know how the address is set up on a letter.
