Dear Parents, December 17, 2012
The last week of school for 2012!! What an exciting week it will be! We have finished theme 4 in our reading series and will be assessing this week. We will spend our language arts time this week reading Christmas books, practicing sequencing and story mapping and improving our sentence writing. We took our chapter 4 test in math last Thursday and will spend this week practicing our basic facts. We will continue with our study of the birth of Our Savior in religion. The afternoons find us quite busy with preparations for the Christmas Program and we will be busy little elves, crafting a surprise – SHHHHH!!!! You don’t know anything about it!
Reminders and Announcements for the week:
- 1st graders do not need to wear PE uniforms on Tuesday as our PE time is during our dress rehearsal for the Christmas Program.
- The Christmas Program is Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. and should not be missed. The story is quite touching, the children are absolutely adorable and they sound terrific!
- Please remind your child to bring their library book to school on Tuesday in the hopes that we will be able to check out a new one to read over Christmas break!
- Wednesday is a noon dismissal with mass, followed by our secret Santa exchange and our Christmas party!!! A big “Thank You!” to the parents who are planning our party!
Have a wonderful week and blessed Christmas!
Miss. Manning
