Week of May 16

Hello everyone.  This is a very busy week at St. Joe's.  The children are very busy and excited about VIP on Thursday and Friday.  We hope to see everyone there.  Please note that dismissal on Friday is at noon.  This week's reading story is John Muir and His Dog, Stickeen.  The genre is historical nonfiction.  The children are working on Spelling lesson 35, which is homophones.  In Language Arts we are continuing to study adverbs.  Hopefully, we will get a short quiz in before the end of the year.  We had a visit from Marine Corporal  Frank Zarate last week which was very inspiring and the children have been writing about his talk.  Again, Mrs. Schultz and Mrs. Carbone want to thank everyone for their support this year.  It was very much appreciated.  We hope to see everyone at the VIP parent show on Thursday morning at 8:30.  Your children have done a great job!
