News!

Every Friday, the fourth graders will read to the preschool from 10:30-11:00. Students are paired up with a preschooler and read 2 books.  We began our book buddies last Friday. I am truly impressed by the fourth graders and preschoolers. This will continue to the end of the year!

 

Yesterday, Sister Mary Ann came and talked to the students about Kateri Tekakwitha. Kateri was beatified on June 22, 1980, by Pope John Paul II. Students learned about her journey to saint hood. We are so lucky to have Sister Mary Ann once a month.

 

ISTEP begins on Tuesday, March 2. Students are well prepared. Please make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast and gets plenty of sleep. There will be no homework next week, but I would like the students to continue reading on a nightly basis.

 

Students began a unit on decimals. The unit will continue for the next couple of weeks.

 

Students will complete the unit on the Underground Railroad Friday with an open note test. Students have all the notes they need. I hope to finish the novel, Watsons Go to Birmingham next week. The next novel will be Maniac Magee.

 

Unit 12 vocabulary test will be on Friday!

 

Please join us every Friday in the gym for the Stations of the Cross. We will begin at 2:50.

 

Progress Reports will be sent home this evening. Please sign and return as soon as possible.
