WEEKLY NEWS FROM ROOM 114
THIS WEEKS NEWS
March 29 - 31, 2010
Only 3 more school days until we have Easter vacation. We will be discussing Holy Week.
I will send my next newsletter on Monday, April 12, with all that weeks information.
NOTES AND REMINDERS
Ella did a great job as star of the week. We have completed our Star of the Week program for the year!!
With our zoo trip coming up in May, any parent who has volunteered to chaperone must be complete in all 4 aspects of the Protecting God's Children program. The following message went home from Mrs. Reed on a school news letter on-line.
All individuals who plan to volunteer for any of our extracurricular
student programs or be involved with our students in any school or parish-sponsored capacity, including field trip chaperones, room parents, in-school and out-of-school volunteers, must participate in the Archdiocese-mandated "Protecting God's Children" program. For information and to register, visit http://www.sjfschool.net/protect.htm. All volunteers must complete the CANTS Form and the Code of Conduct Form. These can be turned in at the school office.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Wed. will be our last day of school before Easter. We will have a prayer service at 1:30 with dismissal at the regular time.
We have a few children with a birthday in the summer. I will send home a note with a date in April or May when we will celebrate each of their birthdays.
I will also be explaining some of our end of the year projects that I do in first grade ~ Memory Book, stories the children write, and the pillowcase project. All this will be explained in April.
HOMEWORK
Please read "Chompy's Afternoon" on Mon. night. Read "Dinosaur Babies" on Tues. night. The phonics skills for the week are "y" as a vowel, and compound words.
I will only be giving a sight test and spelling test on Wednesday for this week.
We will be finishing level 1.5 the week we return from Easter. That means we only have 1 more reader to go through!
In Math, we will finish chapter 8. We will begin Chapter 9 on Money after Easter.
We made more flash cards on Thursday that were added to the bag. We will finish making the rest of the cards with facts to 12 this week.
