CSW Update!



Good Afternoon!
Catholic Schools Week has been wonderful so far!
Tomorrow is a regular gym uniform day and students may
bring in donations for Roxbury Social Services (canned
food, toiletries, etc.). We will be having an Open House in
the morning from 9:00-11:00 and then in the afternoon we
will be visiting the Wax Museum in the big school presented
by 3rd-5th grade. 


Yesterday we sent a few important papers home. The
first is a letter about our upcoming Pen Pal Program. I am
SO excited that this year we are going to have Kindergarten
Pen Pals who are in my sister’s class in Arizona. Our students
will be writing letters to each other a few times a month,
talking about their favorite colors, holidays we celebrate,
weather patterns, etc. and we are very excited to get
started. We will only be using our first names and will not
be sending any personal information, just that we are in
Kindergarten in NJ. If you have any questions about this
program, please let me know. :) 


The second letter that went home is about our upcoming
100th Day Mystery project. It is crazy that we are only 11
school days away from the 100th day already! Students are
asked to each make a special project using “100” items. They
can make anything they wish, as long as it represents 100.
Since it is a mystery project, please do not send in any
finished projects until the actual 100th day, which for our
class is Wednesday, Feb. 12th. If you have any questions
about this project, please let me know. 


Here are this week’s themes/concepts: 
1) LA/Reading/Phonics:
-Popcorn Words- she, on, want, white, ate
-Reading Comprehension Skill- Main Idea
-Writing Skill- Beginning sentences, writers workshop 
-Reading Groups- Book Baggies should return to school

3) Religion:

Thank you for your time! Have a great evening.
Love & Prayers,


Mrs. Tironi
