There is no written homework over the break. Please spend some time working with flashcards and practice reading so our skills stay sharp.

This is also a good time to replace homework folders if need be and crayons and glue sticks etc.

Please try to attend one or all of the Holy Week services if at all possible.(Check your individual parishes for times.) I realize that some of  these services are long, but our Catholic faith is based on the Resurrection of Jesus and these services are not only beautiful, but relevant.

I hope everyone has a joyous Easter and a restful break. If you are traveling, I wish you safe travels. As for me I'm going to be traveling to CHICAGO.

You received a letter from Ms. Wiley talking about the lock-down.  The first graders and I have talked about this and had a couple of  practices. I have stressed to them that this is only a practice and that they are safe, but I have also told them how important it is to follow the procedures. It is not our intent to scare anyone (and they know that Mrs. Herrera and I are here to protect them) but forewarned is forearmed and the better prepared they are the safer they'll be. Please remind your child that it is important to follow the rules whether it is a lock-down, fire drill, or tornado drill and that the rules are there for their safety.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you to Mrs. Slattery, Mrs. Harrison, and Mrs. Sosinski for all the help last Friday with the Easter craft project and for surprising me with my birthday celebration. Another thank you goes out to Mrs. Tobar for putting it all together. You all rock!!!

Have a great evening!!!

Homework: Math: Fact Homework 90
                   Spelling: Study words for test on Friday.

Spelling words for this week consist of contractions. Please stress that the apostrophe is part of the word's spelling. When I give the test on Friday I will expect to see the apostrophe on the paper and in the proper place. If it is not there, the word is not spelled correctly and will be marked wrong.

Please teach your child his/her address and phone number(area code included) if they do not already know it.

Continue to practice tying shoes. Some children still cannot tie their shoes.

Have a great evening! Let's hope the weather forecast is wrong and we don't get the snow that's promised to us.
