Good Afternoon & Happy Dr. Seuss Day!
I hope everyone had a nice weekend and made out safely from all the snow. I am so glad we were able to have school today and celebration Dr. Seuss’ birthday, the class & I had a blast! : )
Here is some important information for the week ahead:
1) Our new spelling words went home taped to the front of homework folders. We are now on the “Short E” word family words. Our spelling homework this week is Rainbow Writing where students are asked to write their words 2 times each in various rainbow colors. Our next spelling test will be on Friday.
2) Since we are now in the month of March we will begin having a small amount of weekly homework, beginning with our Raz Kids Reading Log. You will find this paper in your child’s homework folder with instructions on how they can access their reading account. Please make sure they read at least 2 stories (with quizzes), 3 days out of the week. The Reading Log is due back every Monday. Raz Kids is an excellent reading program that is leveled to their ability and will continue to grow as they practice their skills.
3) Ash Wednesday is this week on March 6th. We will be attending the 8:30 am parish mass. We will be proceeding to church around 8:05-8:10 so it is imperative that your child is on time that day.
4) Please be sure to return permission slips/chaperone forms to school by March 29th.
