Parents,

It was a great week celebrating our amazing Catholic School! I enjoyed seeing many of you

at the open house on Sunday. The white and blue challenge was fun. We enjoyed Career Day

on Tuesday. I loved guessing what each child wants to be when they grow up. Their futures

are bright! Thank you to the volunteers who shared a little about their career with us. We

heard from a State Trooper, Fireman and Scientist. The children loved having lunch with you

at the parent lunch. The magician was a huge hit on Thursday. I have a feeling a few children

will be experimenting with magic tricks at home.

Next week we will be getting ready for the superbowl with some football themed activities,

centers and crafts. We’ll be featuring the letters Y and X in UFLI. Our new high frequency

words are- he and with. We will now start adding 2 new words a week. Reading Wonders is

Unit 5 Week 3- "What kinds of things grow on a farm?". We will be working in our religion books on a retreat on sacraments. We will also celebrate our 100 th day of school next Friday.

We have been counting the days of school each morning. The children are looking forward to

the 100th day! I have many fun things planned to help celebrate. Something new we are

starting this year is our 100 club. Once students show me they are able to count to 100, they

will join our 100 club. They get to sign a poster and get a special treat. We all want to join this

club!

This month we will have a class Valentine's Day celebration. Your child may bring inValentine cards for his/her classmates. We will be making mailboxes to hold Valentine’s Day cards and treats. Please be sure that your child neatly PRINTS names on cards so that they can be easily “mailed”. This is a great way to practice handwriting! We have some time before the cards are due, addressing a few cards each day may make things easier for some students. Aclass list including all student names is attached. We will have a small celebration and

Valentine treats on Valentine's Day. Look for details to come about the party.

Please remember to send in books for February Book-it! We will be reading to friends. We

also appreciated the coins for the coin challenge. We often talk in religion about how we can

help others. The money donated for coin wars goes to a Catholic mission. I am looking

forward to getting back to a regular schedule next week, but Catholic Schools week was full of

fun.

Have a wonderful weekend!
