September 7 Weekly Email

Good afternoon,

This has been a very busy week. Thank you for all those parents who volunteered to help with signs in the morning before school. Your help is greatly appreciated. We have begun ITBS testing today and this will continue every morning until the end of next week. Please make sure that your child has a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast.

We have also begun regrouping in addition. Students are using the ipads more and more. Soon they will be ready for research and projects. In language, we are reviewing long vowels, hard and soft G, and cause and effect. The story for this week is “Diary of a Spider”. It’s hilarious and the students really enjoyed it. They are also reviewing nouns.

Below please find the Friday Food Drive and an attachment for Reconciliation Information for St. Bernadette’s Parish.

Happy Wednesday!
