☺️Announcements for the Week of Sep. 29 - Oct. 3☺️
❤️Friday was a beautiful celebration of our wonderful grandparents. It was a blessing to meet or reacquaint with the grandparents who were able to join in the celebration. Don't forget to share the rap with grandparents! The students did a wonderful job expressing their love for their grandparents and sang their little hearts out. We love witnessing all the love being shared on Grandparents' Day. Children speak from the heart, helping us focus on what is truly important.❤️

🚒FIRE DEPT. FIELD TRIP - WEDNESDAY: Car assignments will be shared with parents on Tuesday. If your child needs a booster seat when traveling, please have him/her bring it in Wednesday morning and leave it by the multi-purpose room at the front entrance. The seat must be labeled with your child's name so our drivers can easily find the seat. We will leave school at 9am, visit the fire dept. first, and then picnic lunch at Krepps Park afterwards. We will be back at school around 12:30pm. Students are to pack cold lunches (in their lunch boxes are fine) and wear their uniforms. If chilly temps in the morning, please wear a light jacket or sweater since we will be outside.

😇ALL SAINTS DAY: We will celebrate this special day on Thursday, October 30, and it is fast approaching. Students are to dress that day as their favorite saint (someone whom they look up to and admire). The focus needs to be on the qualities of the saint, not the costume. Our Blessed Mother Mary is our greatest and most popular saint, selected each year by many girls. We ask that there be no Mother Marys this year. We want all students to choose a saint unknown to them--one they have never dressed as. Students, we need to know your Saint name by next week so we can begin working on our Saint reports in class. There are hundreds of saints to discover, so we encourage families to learn about a new saint for their child to dress as and emulate. We are here to help and we have many saint books to share for ideas so please don't hesitate to reach out. A special thank you to our Second Grade room moms (Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Stanley, Mrs, Martino, and Ms. Willard) for planning and organizing a wonderful first class party for us!!!

WEEKLY REMINDERS:
WEEKLY REMINDERS:
👉ARRIVAL TIME: Students enter the classroom at 7:35 and immediately begin working. (Tardy bell rings at 7:50) Each day, students will have a morning packet containing 5 language arts and 5 math skills to complete. Handwriting practice is also completed at this time. Being on time is crucial for students to begin their day. We have a full day of learning and teach bell to bell, which enables us to cover all subject areas. Thank you for helping your child be on time.

🥰HOSPITALITY: Students are learning that their new classroom is their home away from home. We want our classrooms to be welcoming places. Upon guests entering our classrooms, students will extend hospitality by quickly standing, looking at the guest(s), and saying a warm "Good morning" or "Good afternoon." Students will continue to be respectful listeners with eyes focused on the speaker and their hands folded on their desks. Students are encouraged to extend hospitality outside the classroom: at church, greeting the priest, or with visitors to their home. Students giving full attention to the speaker (whether it is the teacher, another student, or a guest) helps them with comprehension and following directions. Encourage your child to do this outside of school, too.❤️

📗GREEN FOLDERS & ASSIGNMENT BOOKS: Students will be responsible for taking home and bringing back to school their green folders and assignments books each day. The folder pockets will be labeled "Take Out" and "Bring Back." Items in the "Take Out" side should be removed each day, while the items in the "Bring Back" side should be sent back to school the next day (unless noted otherwise). We spend time in class copying down our daily homework assignments. The classroom teachers will verify that each student has copied his/her assignments correctly by initialing each assignment book. We ask that parents initial their children's assignment books in the evening once homework has been completed and checked. We will speak more about homework during our Curriculum Night!
