- Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. We will be attending Mass in the morning. Today we talked about how adults are asked to fast tomorrow and how it would be good to not bring treats or meat as a sacrifice.
- Friday is our Valentine celebration day and it will be a non-uniform day (Red & White). I sent home a class list for students to create Valentines for everyone. Since it is during Lent this year, I am asking that parents do not send in any cupcakes or cookies. If you would like to add any small treats that could be saved ( for kids who are giving up candy) then that would be great.
- Next week on Monday, we will be doing our Bible Reading presentations in class. Tuesday will be our poetry recitation. If your child hasn't started practicing, now would be a great time!
- Next Thursday the 18th is our first skating day. There was a lot of confusion about payments. On the permission form it was written that it was only $3.25 for skates and $1.75 for helmets. Another note was sent home saying that it was actually $3 for skates and $1.75 for helmets, which only covers one session. The cost for both sessions would be $10. If you know that you underpaid could you please send in the extra money. I will follow up with this in the next couple of days.
In the Classroom:
- We had a special visitor today. Constable Call came to talk to us about what a police officer does and we talked about some important safety tips. We even got to sit in the police car. A big thank you to Constable Call for coming to visit us today!
- I'm sure you have heard by now, but we are investigating soil. We have gathered soil and have tested which types of soil absorb and drain water best. This week we will be talking more about how rocks and soil are eroded by wind and water
- We are continuing our practicing of double digit addition, but we are also working on a measurement unit. Right now we are using non-standard units (paperclips & snapcubes), but later on we will be using standard units (cm & m).
- Spelling:
- Grade 1: came, fame, game, name, same, tame, blame, shame, frame, flame
