Calendar of Events
Saturday, November 2nd-Reconciliation Retreat from 10:00-12:00AM
Wednesday, November 6th-Mass 8:30AM
It’s November-wow-and I believe that our schedule is back to normal for a few weeks. I wanted to say a big thank you to Mrs. Angie Burck for coordinating and planning our Halloween party yesterday. Three students actually came up and said that it was the best day ever! They loved playing Bingo with real daubers and the face painting was so cute. Thank you to the few parents who were able to join us and for those who sent the goodies in for the class. It was a great day!
We just had a meeting about Saturday’s Reconciliation retreat and I think it will be a very nice event for both the parent and child. Please meet us in the church at 10:00AM on Saturday morning. Thank you for writing the “Love letter” to your child. That moment will be very special. Next week will be dedicated to completing our Reconciliation preparation. I will test the kids on the Act of Contrition and we will be discussing Sin vs. Mistakes, and the Steps to Reconciliation.
If I ever send a study guide home with your child, please go over it. If students know everything off of the study guides, they will do great on the assessments.
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! Next week’s focus will be on all of the addition facts and then we will start subtraction facts.
The kids really enjoyed our pumpkin unit. We learned about collecting data, making observations, and measurement. I want to thank all of the parents who stopped by this afternoon to help open the pumpkins and get messy! I appreciated all of the help.
