1st Communion

2nd grade parents:  Congratulations on your son/daughter's First Communion!  Tomorrow is a day of celebration for them.  Mass is at 8:30.  You are more than welcome to join us.  We are announcing all of their names and they all have a part in the Mass.  There will be juice and doughnuts afterward.  They should come to school in their First Communion attire and bring play clothes and shoes for the celebration.

3rd graders will be spending the day with Mrs. Norman tomorrow.

Thanks,
Mrs. Elliot

Hello Parents,

Mr Guinan is treating the class to McDonald's for lunch tomorrow.  So, you do not need to send a lunch if you normally pack lunches.

The project in reading is due on May 13th.  If anyone has it finished early, they may go ahead and present.  Two people already went and did a fantastic job.  Usually, the kids really have fun with these projects.

Thanks,
Mrs. Elliot

ISTEP this week

3rd graders are taking ISTEP this week.  There will be no homework except for reading logs. 

For spelling, 2nd graders have been introduced to all of their words.  There will still be tests on Fridays.  Any words they have had are fair game for the tests.  The tests are changed to sentence dictation in order to be sure they have all 2nd grade words mastered before they go on to 3rd grade.  They can still do the challenge words if they choose.

Thanks,
Mrs. Elliot
