NEWS AND NOTES

 

Congratulations to all of our First Communicants.  I am very proud of you and hope that you are always as excited to receive the Eucharist as you were the first time.

 

Our class will have our individual class mass on Friday, May 17^th.  All are welcome to join us.  After all of the excitement of First Communion, this will be a nice time to worship together with our class only. 

 

It’s hard to believe that we only have three weeks left!!  What a great year we have had.  I am wrapping up several items in the next week including the WRAP reading assessments and the IREAD2.  I will be sending home the information soon so that you can see your child’s results.  If your child fell below the second grade goals, I do suggest that you look for some summer classes or tutoring so that he/she can be prepared for the third grade.

 

There is a great website where kids can practice math skills over the summer.  It is www.ixl.com and it has all kinds of math practice that aligns to the common core standards.  Check it out!  Also, don’t forget to encourage your child to work on First in math each night and visit www.technologyrocksseriously.com for some seasonal fun. 

 

Our final book order of the year came home with your child a few days ago.  Book orders are due by Wednesday, May 15^th. 

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you wonderful mothers!

 

Thank you for all that you do.
