May 23

It is unbelievable that this year will soon be over. The kids have certainly shown me they are ready to be finished! It has been difficult to keep them on task this past week. We continue to do our regular daily schedule. Next week they will take their final theme test in Reading. We'll also be doing the next chapter test in Math. It's on fractions, and the kids are really doing well on these as they usually do in Math.

We will be (weather permitting) going fishing on Friday, the 30th at the friars' cabin in Iron River. The kids are very excited about it! Things they need to bring: jackets, sunscreen, maybe mosquito spray, but for sure BAIT! I will let you know Tuesday about the food. I'll go over the slips and see what we have or what we need.

June 2 is our picnic with the first grade at Kreher Park. The school hot lunch program will provide us with lunch and milk. We will go to the Dairy Queen after the park. Kids will probably need to bring their own money for the DQ.

If I don't get back to this blog before the end of the year, let me say "Thank you!" It has been a very good year. The kids have made this year an enjoyable one for me, and the First Reconciliation and First Communion were highlights of the year. All of you have been wonderful with your support and cooperation. I couldn't have asked for a better group to make this transition year a great one!
May God bless you! Have a safe and happy summer!
