Dear Parents and Students,
Tomorrow we will have our Thanksgiving Mass at 9am. Each child is asked to bring a pasta item to carry in the offeratory procession at Mass.
Thank you in advanced to all parents who will be assisting with the special Thanksgiving activities. The children truly enjoyed their time.
On December 8 at 9am the First Grade will lead the Mass celebration. Please practice readings and petitions with your child at home. Thank you!
Please remind your child to use the bathroom at home each morning before school. We have had an incredible amount of class interruptions due to so many children needing to use the restroom during morning class lessons. We do provide 3 scheduled opportunities to use the bathroom each day. Thank you for your attention to this area of concern.
The fall season is upon us and every child needs to wear a coat or jacket to school. It was very cold today at recess for them. Please send a coat each day to school until spring. Thank you.
Christian behavior is expected at all times in a Catholic school. Please discuss the importance of not talking while someone else is talking with your child. Too often, children are interupting other students and teachers in class. This is a class goal. Please help us to succeed!
The next book report is due on Wednesday, November 26, 2008, Sometime this month, Pasta House has sent the free dinner gift certificates for the October book reports. They will be distributed soon. Please watch for them in your child's folder! Thanks.
Top 20 - we are using the "Show me your shoulders" strategy for focusing! It would be great if you could use the same terms at home! Thanks for your support.

A word list sheet is sent home each day with the same words. Please review them as well daily and return to school.

The next spelling test will be on Friday,December 5, 2008. Each word will be said, used in a sentence, and said again. Students need to memorize the spelling words each week. I will send the words home on Fridays so you have a full week to practice them at home. The weekly spelling assignments are outlined on your spelling word sheet. I will also give the students two sentences to write on the second side of their spelling tests. Please practice sentence dictation at home.
