Happy Sunday!!!!
Our 100th day of school will be celebrated on Friday, 2/9. Posters will be due on that day. Please do not send in sooner. We do not have room in the classroom to store them. A letter was sent home several weeks ago with instructions. Children will showcase their poster with a mini presentation. Make sure the poster has a title on it. Children will need to tell the class what their poster is, what material was used, who helped them….Children are to wear their uniforms on the 100th day. It is not a TAG day. We will celebrate 100 days of learning from morning to dismissal. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!
Thank you to all who have sent in their item for the 100th day snack. If you received a letter and have not sent in your item yet, please do so by tomorrow. I need it in advance to prepare for the big day!
Valentine’s Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, 2/ 13 instead of Wednesday, 2/14. Wednesday is the first day of Lent and children will be receiving ashes and going to Mass. On Tuesday, 2/13 we will have a small celebration and children may bring in Valentines to exchange with their friends. I will send a list of names home during the week for their cards.
Shoe Tying – It is very important that children know how to tie their shoes. Many shoes/sneakers have velcro or slip ons these days. However, many shoes do not. Tying shoes is a kindergarten skill yet many do not know how to tie their shoes in first grade and beyond. My fear is that your child is going to trip on their laces and fall down the school steps. They will get hurt. Therefore, I will start to test your child on this skill beginning Monday, 2/26. They may use their own shoe or one I have. I will do a few children a day. Please work with them at home.
Thank you to all who donated to St. Jude’s and the Mercy House. St. Jude’s Math – a- thon ends tomorrow if anyone still wants to donate. Much appreciation!
It’s so nice to see the sun!! Have a wonderful day!!!
