Dear 4A Families,
It was nice seeing many of you at the Mass and Open House on Sunday. We have a busy and fun week ahead with many special events that will help us celebrate our wonderful school, parish and community. The last part of the newsletter will review the events of the week and include special reminders for 4th grade in particular.
I have added a new tab above—Newsletter PDF for those of you that want to print the newsletter. Occasionally I will add updates to this main page that may not be on the PDF—but it will be close.
If you have signed up to take a group of students to deliver certificates on Tuesday, you should have received an about the day and your responsibilities. Thank you so much! Remember, students do have a jeans day on Tuesday but all 4th grade students need to bring a clean red Holy Rosary sweatshirt, sweater or vest to wear during deliveries!
Spelling/Homework: The students do not have a spelling test this week. The students do have a Sacrament test on Wednesday. Students do not need to have perfect spelling, but it should be reasonable. They need to be able to pronounce each sacrament and category correctly. Those students that do spell all words correctly will receive extra credit (spelling).
This week our reading will focus on the biography of Cesar Chavez which is an inspirational story that is perfect for Catholic Schools Week.
There will be some math homework this week, but I will keep homework light overall.
