Hello Everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We are having an awesome start to
a new and exciting month of school. Now that we are in October, we have
A LOT of new information to share and many exciting events coming up as
well. :)
1) A letter is going home in Homework Folders today detailing our “Reading
Folders” and the work that is inside of them. Please keep these Reading
Folders at home and work on them throughout the week, and return at the
end of each week.
Since there is no school this Friday, students do not have to return their
folders until next Tuesday, October 11th.
If you haven’t returned the September Reading log with the apples, please
do so by the end of this week for a prize.
Our weekly homework checklist with important info can be found there as
well. You may pick and choose which practice activities you’d like to do and it
is not required that they ALL be done every single day, we just like to
give the children a chance to choose what they’d like to do.
2) Raz Kid letters & login information is going home in homework folders as
well. Your child’s login will also be taped on the front of their homework
folder as well. When you first log in to the app or on the computer, your
child will be prompted to take a Placement Test first. This will help
determine which leveled readers they will be given on Raz Kids. Please let
me know if you have any questions.
3) Today we started learning about our sight words, which we call “Popcorn
Words” in Kindergarten because they POP out whenever we see them. Our
first five words can be found in Reading Folders so they can practice at
home as well.
4) Our St. Therese Walk-a-Thon will now be held on Thursday morning
beginning at 9:00 am. Any money raised, please send it to school no later
than tomorrow.
5) A reminder that school is closed this Friday, October 7th and Monday,
October 10th.
6) Beginning next week, the school snack shop will now be open on Tuesdays
during lunch, instead of Fridays. There will be no snack shop this week due
to 8th grade visiting Pope John.
