3) New this week regarding Homework- I am super excited to

announce that the diocese has set up our class to use the online

practice program called IXL. If you have an older student here at

STS, you may be familiar. IXL is a great place to practice math &

language arts skills, and it allows your child to progress at their own

pace and I am given a report each & every time your child uses it and

how they are doing. The login information has been taped to the front

of your child’s homework folder as well.  Please let me know if you have

any questions. 🙂

4) This Friday we will be having our next Science fun day- Hibernation

Day! A small flyer is coming home today to explain what your child will

need to bring with them on Friday morning. It is also a TAG day- free

choice- so your child may dress down if you send in your $1 donation

(if you already paid for the year you are all set). 

5) A reminder that school is closed this upcoming

Monday, January 15th in honor of MLK Jr Day.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope you all had a nice weekend. I am so VERY happy to be back

with our class, I missed them SO much. 

I cannot believe we are already so close to Christmas Break, it

truly went way too fast and I am so sad I missed time with them. 🙁

Here is some info about our short (yet special) week ahead:

1) This week due to the shortened schedule, there will not be any

new weekly homework packets. Students can instead work on their

Monthly READO boards, practice looking for their sight words in

Christmas stories, or practice measuring Christmas items around your

house. Have fun during this week of JOY! 🙂

2) SAVE THE DATE- Our Kindergarten Parent Teacher Conferences

will be taking place on Thursday, January 25th & Friday, January 26th.

Here is our Sign Up Genius to select the time & date you would like to

meet. Our conferences will be taking place in the office meeting room

located at the church. 

If none of the dates/times work for you, please reach out to me and I

will gladly work out something that works better for you.
