NEWS AND NOTES

 

We have booked our first field trip to the Lilly building.  This field trip has some excellent lessons based on each grade level’s standards.  The second and third grade will be going on Thursday, Feb. 28^th.  The fee for field trips was included in your school fees.

 

I have recently discovered a new website that your children explored today.  It is www.technologyrocksseriously.com and it’s full of great apps and websites for kids to go to.  Check it out!

 

Everybody who is receiving First Communion this year should have received a letter from the Religious Education office.  The retreat is coming soon!  It will be held on March 10^th.  Just make sure that you have that on your calendar.  We will start working on learning the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes.  These are some other important parts of our faith that second graders are asked to know and understand.  I am sending home a copy of these today.

 

Thank you so much for sending in Valentines!  I appreciate the chocolates, coolie cup, candle, and other goodies that I received on my desk.  I’m so glad that I did not give up chocolate this Lent-ha.  Also, thank you to everybody who came and assisted with the party that afternoon.  The kids always look forward to celebrating these special days with friends.

 

Don’t forget to check your child’s school progress on www.mystudentsprogress.com.  I will be adding more grades in Science, Social Studies, and Religion throughout the rest of the quarter.
