On Halloween we will have a free free dress, No Halloween costumes, please. We can wear Halloween related T-shirts, socks, bows etc. Also we are also asking a $1.00 for each Halloween tattoo, 8th grade will apply two tats on students Halloween morning. Your child can purchase more, an envelope will be sent home with the extra.
We are learning about prayer and many of the saints for the next few weeks. Your student will do a paper on their saint with a craft and some writing. We will be doing research in class. If you know something about your child’s saint send it in, we will enjoy learning and looking at pictures.

Reading Workshop has us reading non-fiction books with a partner, we are looking for pictures that “wow” us and we share back that information in group time. Writing workshop continues with narrative drawing and adding some words.
