Important News and Notes
Our second graders have been celebrating
a very special time in their lives. They
have joined all of us at the Table of the Lord in Holy Eucharist. Here are some notes about our own celebration
here at Holy Spirit to honor these second graders.
The mass will be held on Wednesday, May
8th at 8:30 AM. Everybody is encouraged
and welcome to attend this celebration.
Students will need to come to school
dressed in their Communion outfits on Wednesday morning. We will change immediately after the picture
with the boys in Ms. Hill’s room and the girls in Mrs. Porter’s room. The students are allowed to be out of uniform
on this day as long as it’s appropriate for school. If you are able to attend, please help your
child get dressed and take his/her Communion outfit with you. If you are unable to attend, parent
volunteers will help your child. Please
send an appropriate bag to hang his/her outfit in during the school day.
A special Holy Spirit School Communion
picture will be taken immediately after mass.
Many of you have already sent in a picture order to the religion
education office. If you have not sent
in an order, you can still order pictures, even on the day of the celebration. It usually takes about 20-30 minutes to take
the pictures.
There will be a pizza party in honor of
our students after the picture is taken and we are changed. Thank you Mrs. Welborn and Mrs. Smith for
organizing this lunch. We are hopeful
that we will be able to enjoy lunch outside!
During the afternoon, we will be doing
some fun activities that correlate with First Communion. One of the activities is a prayer service
about bread. If you would like to donate
some bread for the kids to eat during the prayer service, please send it in
that morning.
Thank you for helping us make this
another special day for our second graders.
It has been a busy and important year!
Some additional information:
The annual fund dinner will take place
on Thursday, May 9th. I know
the eighth graders have been working extra hard on their performance so it
should be fun. I’m looking forward to
experiencing my first annual fund dinner.
I’ve heard great things about it.
School will dismiss at 12:00 noon on May 10th and the
students will be able to watch the performance that morning at 10:45.
We have been working very hard on
Benchmarks and IREAD2 testing this week.
These results will help us know what the students need to focus on in
third grade.
Finally, I will not be sending home a
First in Math sheet this month, but I want all students to work on the
following games:
Bonus 2: Know
and Show 3 & 4:
Grand Slam-Add/Subtract Numbers Zoo
First to 20 Get a Clue
Deep Sea Sequence Yakity Yak
You
Rule
These
games do correlate with the second grade common core standards. Thank you so much! I’m hoping that our class can finish the year
with the First in Math trophy!
