Dear Fourth Grade Families,
Happy Catholic Schools Week and a special note of
appreciation for all that you so generously do to support your students and our
parish school. We have several special
events planned as part of our celebration this week.
Monday – Free dress, Cross-age Family meeting
Tuesday – Free dress, student lunch treat, and no
homework day
Wednesday – Free dress,
Thursday – Free dress, 8:30 Mass in the chapel, “All
School Lunch” 12:45
Friday – School Mass, 9:00, uniform day, noon dismissal I
In addition to these special events, we will also
complete our second week of daily keyboarding practice in the computer
lab. Our goal is to jump-start progress
in keyboarding skills with daily drill and practice. Your students are enjoying their extra
computer time and making good progress.
I would also like to congratulate your students on their excellent work
on the Martin Luther King Jr. unit in Social Studies. I was impressed with their high interest
level and understanding of the material we read together. This week we will be back in the science lab
to begin our work on Magnetism and electricity.
Your students should be able to re-wire your homes in about a month from
now!
Have a wonderful week and I hope to see you during some
of our Catholic Schools Week activities.
