Good morning,

I hope you’re enjoying your break!!!

Here are a few reminders for the upcoming week:

Shoe Tying Challenge – I will begin testing your children on Wednesday.  They may use their own shoe or tie one of mine.  I will begin with the children who know how to tie their shoes and go on from there.  I only test about 3 children a day so some may not be tested until Monday or Tuesday of next week.  If they are successful, they will receive a certificate.  If not, they will need to continue practicing until they get it.  Remember this is for safety reasons.

Spelling – Children will receive new words tomorrow.  Even though it is a short week, the children will be tested on Friday.  They will also learn the y as a vowel rule.

We will also begin a new reading book this week.  Look in your child’s study notebook for the new vocabulary words.

We will also be beginning a new math chapter on data and graphs.

Beginning this Friday and throughout Lent, I will be taking your children to the Stations of the Cross at church. 

Please make sure your child has sharpened pencils and glue sticks to begin this busy week ahead.

Thank you for your continued support!!

Mrs. Mele

Thank you for all my cards, candy and gifts.  It was so sweet of you and greatly appreciated!

Please check your child’s supplies over the weekend.  Many are without glue and sharpened pencils. Please replace them. Thank you to our class parents for supplying the children with a new box of crayons for Valentine’s Day.

There will be no school on Friday, 2/16 and Monday/ 2/ 19 due to Presidents’ Day Weekend!  ENJOY!

HAPPY 100th DAY of SCHOOL!!!  The class had a wonderful day!  In honor of this special day, I did not give any homework.  However, I told them that if they want a snow day tomorrow, there are 3 simple steps to follow.  They are:

1.  Wear their pajamas inside out.

2.  Put a spoon under their bed.

3.  Flush 1 ice cube down the toilet.

Think snow!  

Valentine’s Day will be celebrated tomorrow.  Children may wear red, white or pink.  It is a TAG Day for $1.00.   Bring cards in tomorrow.  If it snows, I will pass out the cards on Wednesday but that will be it.  Wednesday is the beginning of Lent.

Ash Wednesday – I will be taking the children over to Mass and for ashes.  Please let me know if you do not want your child to get ashes.

Shoe tying – Children will begin being tested the Wednesday after Presidents’ Day Weekend, 2/21.  Please work with your child if he/she does not know this skill.

100th Day posters are due on Monday, 2/12  We will celebrate ALL day!  Children need to wear their uniforms.  

Updates are being sent home in your child’s folder today.  Please read and discuss them with your child.  Please sign and return them on Monday in the envelope that they came home in. I reuse them.

Valentine’s Day is being celebrated on Tuesday, 2/13 due to the beginning of Lent on Wednesday.  If your child is bringing in cards, please send them in on Tuesday.  Tuesday is a TAG Day for $1.00.  Children may wear pink, red or white.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Sunday!!!!

Our 100th day of school will be celebrated on Friday, 2/9.  Posters will be due on that day.  Please do not send in sooner.  We do not have room in the classroom to store them. A letter was sent home several weeks ago with instructions.  Children will showcase their poster with a mini presentation.  Make sure the poster has a title on it.  Children will need to tell the class what their poster is, what material was used, who helped them….Children are to wear their uniforms on the 100th day.  It is not a TAG day.  We will celebrate 100 days of learning from morning to dismissal.  FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!

Thank you to all who have sent in their item for the 100th day snack.  If you received a letter and have not sent in your item yet, please do so by tomorrow.  I need it in advance to prepare for the big day!

Valentine’s Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, 2/ 13 instead of Wednesday, 2/14.  Wednesday is the first day of Lent and children will be receiving ashes and going to Mass.  On Tuesday, 2/13 we will have a small celebration and children may bring in Valentines to exchange with their friends.  I will send a list of names home during the week for their cards.

Shoe Tying – It is very important that children know how to tie their shoes.  Many shoes/sneakers have velcro or slip ons these days.  However, many shoes do not.  Tying shoes is a kindergarten skill yet many do not know how to tie their shoes in first grade and beyond. My fear is that your child is going to trip on their laces and fall down the school steps. They will get hurt. Therefore, I will start to test your child on this skill beginning Monday, 2/26.  They may use their own shoe or one I have.  I will do a few children a day.  Please work with them at home.

Thank you to all who donated to St. Jude’s and the Mercy House.  St. Jude’s Math – a- thon ends tomorrow if anyone still wants to donate.  Much appreciation!

It’s so nice to see the sun!!  Have a wonderful day!!!
