Week of October 1,2012

 

Dear Parents,

 

REMINDER: This Friday is a half day and our dismissal time will be 12 noon. There is NO STAY CARE, so please make alternate child care arrangements for your student.

There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday due to Festival cleanup.

 

CAFÉ SSJ: Please remember to send in your baked goods for the school’s bake booth at the festival.

 

PARKING LOT: Please allow extra time in the morning to secure a parking spot as well as pick up time on Friday. The festival rides will be using some of our spaces.

 

NAME PAPER: I am enclosing a name practice sheet in your child’s backpack today. Please notice the order of the strokes needed to print the letter correctly. You can make copies of this sheet and have your child practice writing their name correctly at least one time a day. It is better for them to do one carefully, than rush and do five incorrectly.  If they return it , and have tried their best, I will give them a sticker.  They should write with a pencil.

Here is an overview of this week:

          Religion: We will talk about God’s gift of animals. Check the parish website for the date and time of the annual Blessing of the Animals. We will also talk about the life of St. Francis.

          Math: We will be counting out objects to match numbers 1-10.

          Animal of the Week: Camel

Ÿ  SRA READING: We will become familiar with the concept of more and fewer.

Ÿ  We will identify and say a 3 word sentence.

Ÿ  We will introduce predecodable # 2

Ÿ  We will read “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.”

Ÿ  Understand the meaning of first, middle and last.

Have a great week!
