Week of October    22,2012

 

Dear Parents,

 

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART: On Thursday, October 25, the faculty, staff and students of Sts. Simon & Jude School will be participating in Jump Rope For Heart. This event is conducted nationwide to educate students about the benefits of aerobic exercise and heart health. The TYKE students will be jumping in the morning with the 7th graders. Please make sure your child wears his/her PE uniforms and tennis shoes.

 

FRIDAY: We will be attending Mass at 11:00 with the rest of the student body.

 

TRUNK OR TREAT: This special event will be held from 5:00 until 8:00. They still need assistance prior to the event, and  the day and evening of the event. It is a great way to earn service hours.

 

AUCTION: Remember to purchase your tickets to the St. Simon & Jude Auction which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Newport Beach on Friday, November 16. They also need help with this event. Check the school website for more information.

 

Here is an overview of this week:

          Religion: We will continue to talk about Mary, the mother of

God and the mysteries of the rosary.

          Animal of the Week: Frog

          Math: We will be introducing solid geometric shapes this week and testing for number recognition (1-10) and patterns as well, for our  SLAs (aka report cards).

SRA Reading: We will be sending home predecodable #3 and learning to recognize the following letters: Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, and Hh. Your child should be able identify both upper and lower case letters out of sequence. We will also be introducing the high frequency word, --and.
