Dear Parents,

Happy Thursday! Or maybe NOT! Old Mother Nature must be mad at someone! This is definitely not what I expected this week! I am praying I see your kids tomorrow. I wanted to get out to you the Catholic Schools week Schedule. So here it is. On Wednesday it is class theme day. We have not been together to pick a theme! I plan on doing that tomorrow. I also will not be there on Wednesday due to a class I have to attend so Mrs. Weight will be my sub. I will make her aware of whatever we choose for our theme.

Please take note you need to send a sack lunch with your child on Monday. Thursday the sack lunch will be provided by the school but you do have the option of bringing your own from home.

Language Arts - We will spend out time finishing up the Unit Test. I do not plan to rush the kids all because of snow days. Next week we will continue the testing. We will also free read, for those not finished with their book reports, work on handwriting and a writing activity.

Math- We accomplished a Math fact test this week. This is a topic we have decided is important to help the students with. We have been working on Reading fluency so now we feel the need to focus on Math fluency with our emphasis on multiplication facts. This class did pretty well but we hope to improve their scores no matter what those scores. For those who are getting it we may put them to a times test. Knowing these facts are important in all aspects of math throughout their life. The students will be charting their progress. I hope to do that with them tomorrow.

I am sorry the formatting isn't perfect on this but I copy and pasted from another source.

I hope everyone has enjoyed their snow days. The first one I liked the 2nd was okay but today ugh!! I am done with snow days. I like them scattered through winter not all in one week! Let's hope Mother Nature has it out of her system!

God Bless,

Mrs. Sickels
