A week in, and things are going well! The dinner last night was very nice. Thanks to the families who were able to make it, and the ones who came to our open house! I know there were soccer games and other activities going on last night, too. It's always busy in September.
We have worked on our Reading Level tests and fluency tests for reading this week. I"ve read quite a few books so far - something I enjoy doing very much. I try and incorporate books into every subject. I also did a Math Inventory test which everyone did well on. We read about Science Inquiry Skills and Science Tools for our Science this week. The kids wrote about their first day of Second Grade.
We learned about the Apostles' Creed, and we also celebrated Mary's birthday yesterday with a coloring page and a book called MARY, MOTHER OF GOD which told of her life and was written as if she were writing the story. I also read the books IF JESUS CAME TO MY HOUSE, and IF JESUS WALKED BESIDE ME.
I would encourage any of you who would like to volunteer in the classroom or drive on field trips this year to really make an effort to attend the Safe and Sacred training since it is a diocesan requirement for working with kids in our school. Mark your calendars! It is next THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 IN OUR SOCIAL HALL. REGISTRATION IS AT 5:15. IT IS ONLY AN HOUR TRAINING. Those who had the training last year do not need to attend since the training is good for 5 years. Grandparents and any others who want to volunteer should also attend. Hope to see you there!
Have a good weekend!
