Dear Parents,
On Sunday, January 29th, students and families are encouraged to attend the 9:00 or 11:00 a.m. Mass to help kick off Catholic Schools Week. There will be an Open House at the school following the Mass. This is a great time to bring your friends and relatives that are looking at schools for next year. In the library, we will have the Scholastic Book Fair set up. Your child brought home a Book Fair flyer today. When you purchase books at the Book Fair, the school earns free books for our school. Also for your calendar, your child is making an invitation for the Family Lunch on Wednesday, February 1st.
We will be celebrating the 100th day of school on Tuesday, February 7th. We will have lots of special activities that week to mark this milestone. We have a special at-home project that needs to be completed before that date. The children need to make a 100 Day shirt to wear over their uniforms on this special day. This is a fun and exciting part of our celebration. An old adult-sized T-shirt works the best. (Then they can wear it the following year. J) Find 100 small objects that can be sewn or glued onto the shirt (a hot glue gun works great.) You can use the front, back and sleeves of the shirt. Have your child arrange the objects on the shirt in 10 groups of 10. This will make it easier for us to count all the objects. (We’re very good at counting by 10’s! J) The objects can be all the same or you can use different objects for each group. If you would like to see some examples, I have some at school. If you and your child complete it early, please send it in. I would love to hang them up in our room to share your ideas with the other students (and parents!) Be creative and have some fun!
Reminders:
