October 21,2013- October 25, 2013

It's conference week and our Book Fair! I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how wonderful your child or children are :). It's a good time to discuss the goals we have for your child this year.  

Tuesday, October 22 is PINK free dress.  Your child must wear pink.  At 6 PM is the Mother Daughter volleyball game!  That should be a fun game to come watch!


This Wednesday, October 23 is our trip to the Pumpkin Patch!!! Things to remember:  please be at school With your child's booster seat on time- 7:50 AM. (At the first bell).  This will give us time to take roll and get organized before morning prayer.  After prayer, we will organize the children, with their booster seats, into their groups/ cars and leave by 8:30.  Snack will be provided after we have participated in the organized activities and after they have picked their pumpkins.  We will then return to school when we are done.  Your child will be at school before the school day ends at 12:30.  If you are driving, you must have the required insurance and registration info turned in before Wednesday morning.  Remember this information must be turned in each year to be eligible to drive.  You must also have completed safe environment training and have had fingerprints done.  We will check with the office to confirm.  If you don't meet any of these requirements, you will NOT, be able to drive and/ or attend this trip.  These are the rules of the diocese.  Thank you.

Saturday, October 26 Is our annual Halloween Carnival from 5- to  - 8PM.  You must purchase a bracelet for $10 .  No tickets are sold for the games.  Food will also be for sale. It's a really fun and safe night for kids of all ages.  Hope to see all of you there! 

These are some of the things we will be covering and can be reinforced or practiced at home:
-Contractions & compound words
-Short a, i, o vowel words
-Addition and subtraction concepts
-6 parts of an ecosystem- sun, nonliving things, herbivores, carnivores, plants, recyclers / cleaner-uppers.
-Plains Indians 
-Saints
-The Rosary
-of course vocabulary words from each week should be reviewed continuously .  I can tell a few of the students are not doing this.  It shows in their daily reading. 

Vocabulary this week: 

knows
warm
goes
brothers
sister
about
together
ears
eyes
legs
body
nose


Spelling words this week will be short o vowels ( practice test Thursday - if your child gets all the words plus the challenge words correct, they will not have to take the final test on Friday ) 
They are :

not
pot
hot
cot
dot 
on
box
pop
top
stop


Friday is our turn to bring in a St. Vincent lunch to be distributed to the homeless.  Please have your child help with this; it's a great opportunity to discuss the many things we are thankful for :). We will decorate a bag on Thursday to take home that night to fill with a great lunch.  Please send it in with your child when they come in the morning. Thank you :)
