Hello.  I hope everyone had a great break. In Religion this week, we will complete our study of The Beatitudes in Chapter 7.  Students will have a short assessment over Chapter 7 toward the end of the week.  We will then move on to our study of  Advent. Students will understand that Advent is a time of waiting and preparing, learn about the Advent wreath, the Jesse tree, and other Advent customs and traditions.  Please don't forget to send in those boxtops  We have begun another 5 day challenge of perfect attendance/no tardies.  Students will get a pizza party the next time we reach our goal.  Please help by getting your child to school on time every day.  Thanks and have a good week.

Hi Parents.  We are having a canned food drive at school this week.  If you have any canned goods you would like to donate, have your child bring them to school tomorrow.  We are also collecting box tops again.  The contest runs until February 21st.  I am trying to get the kids fired up so we can win the awesome grand prize in Room 1.  I will not collect Reading calendars until November 30th.  Everyone enjoy the Thanksgiving break. We will begin studying about The Beatitudes in Religion, when we return next week

We reached our goal last week of perfect attendance for 5 straight days.  I am proud of everyone for "showing up".  We celebrated with a popcorn party on Friday afternoon.  We will continue studying Chapter 7 in Religion this week.  I didn't receive any book orders for Scholastic books, so no orders will be placed for November.  Have a great week.

Hello Parents.  Our field trip to the James Whitcomb Riley Home was very nice.  I think the children enjoyed the visit to Crown Hill as well.  We ended the day with our Halloween Party.  Thank you to all the moms who came to help!  We will be studying Chapter 6 in Religion, Baptism in Christ.  The chapter focuses on the experiences of belonging to a group, the significance of the gift of Baptism, and our call to live Christian lives.  Scholastic book orders for November are due by next Friday, November 9th.  Please make sure your children are spending time on ALEKS at home.  They are now being required to complete 5 topics per week.  If you do not have access to a computer at home, students may come in the classroom at 7AM to get connected.  Thanks and have a great week.
