Updates Week 4/15

 Tomorrow is Reconciliation. This is just a friendly reminder to be at church by 6:15 pm so that Fr. Wrightson, our Pastor, can get us started. The plan is to have Fr. Sleeva and Fr. Rinaldi in attendance as well. All three priests will be seated on the altar and parents will escort their children up to introduce them to the priest. The only home preparation required is for children to do an examination of conscience and decide which sins they wish to share with the priest. These can be as simple as not telling the truth, being mean to a sibling, or not respecting parents. We talk often of our merciful God who is our most faithful friend, and who always forgives us no matter what we do. 

Updates Week 4/8

Welcome back from Easter break! I hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday. We are back to our usual testing schedule for spelling and sight words on Fridays. This week students will begin writing down their homework. Please check their folder every night. It will be written down on an agenda page. The homework will also be updated online every night. Spring picture day is Friday 4/12. Students who are making the Sacrament of Reconciliation will also begin to practice this week. Just a reminder, Reconciliation is next Tuesday, 4/16. Please let me know if you have any questions! 

Updates Week 3/25: 

This is a short week before Easter break! Wednesday 3/27 will be our last day together. There is no aftercare on Wednesday. Easter break is from 3/28-4/7. We will see you back on Monday April 8th! This will be the last homework letter for the year. Starting after break, students will start to write down their own homework on agenda pages. This will prepare them for third grade. The homework will still be updated nightly on the website. I hope you have a safe and happy Easter break!

Updates Week 3/18: We will test on last week’s spelling and sight words (5.2) tomorrow. Since we are testing mid week and we are only in school a few days next week, this will be the last spelling test and sight word quiz until after Easter break. We will be reviewing skills we have learned. Rocky’s Reading Challenge is due Wednesday, March 20 if you want to participate! 

Updates Week 3/4: The students worked so hard on Friday helping to get our classroom ready for our birthday celebration this past weekend. They did a great job!

We will also start preparing for our first Sacrament of the year, Reconciliation(Penance). We will send additional information home regarding the Sacrament in the near future. Your child can wear a green shirt on Friday 3/8 to help us earn more pledges!
