Week of October 31st

Good Evening Everyone!

We hope everyone has a restful weekend especially since Halloween is on Monday!  We have been so lucky to have Halloween fall on a Friday or the weekend the past couple of years but we are back to a Monday Halloween this year :(

Reminder:  students can wear a Halloween themed or any team Spirit top of their choosing on Monday.  Bottoms must be regular uniform bottoms.  Our next out of uniform will be November 10th for the box top contest!

Their LA Essay will be due on Monday- final copy.  They may type or write in cursive for final copies.

Also today we had our SS tour stop in Hershey, PA.  The students were candy factory workers today and had such a great time!  A huge thanks to our parents who made it out and helped us with our activity :)

Week of October 10th

Good Evening!

We hope everyone had a relaxing 5 day weekend :)

This week we will have an out-of-uniform day this Friday, October 14th by donating a dollar to help the Catholic Education Foundation's annual Move Your Feet to Give a Child a Seat.  We will be walking a loop around our school this Friday morning to show our support for Catholic Schools.  Thanks for helping!

Also this Friday afternoon we will be meeting as a school to pray the Rosary.  4th graders can certainly bring their Rosaries in if they would like and please feel free to join us at 1:15 in the Church.

This week in...

Reading: We will continue to read our class novel Frindle this week.  The students are having such a great time learning some new vocabulary words and figuring out what Nick is going to do next.  They are doing a great job!

Spelling:  Lesson 6 this week.  Every 6th lesson we have a review lesson which is why it is not shown on Spelling City.  The practice this week is slightly longer so it will be due on Friday.  Also the test is slightly different- we will go over the format in class.  And NO SPELLING MENU this week!
