Notices for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for Dec. 15th to 19th

Dear Parents,
         This is our last week before Christmas vacation.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, classes were combined and therefore the THIRD and FOURTH grades (not the second ) will need to take their ELA Writing Quiz this Monday. Please  make sure students study their ELA notes carefully since recent daily assessments have shown some students are NOT reviewing well!  The Religion Weekly Quiz will be given on Tuesday to all classes. See below for the study guide.
         The THIRD and FOURTH grades will be doing their Advent confession this week, although the exact day has not yet been set. Both grades are responsible for knowing each of the Ten Commandments, the Act of Contrition,  as well as the four steps of Reconciliation: confession, contrition, penance, and absolution.  Students should examine their conscience and know their sins.
          On Thursday we will be packing up all books in the cabinets. If you want your child to take home any particular book to study, please let them know before we pack up. January Mid term Exams will most likely begin soon after their return so it is best to review all notes recorded in their notebooks. Students will need to bring in a strong medium size plastic or fabric bag to store books.  
        On Friday each class will sing a Christmas carol in Church  in the morning as part of Lessons and Carols and in the afternoon we will have a pizza party.  Each third grader is asked to bring in five dollars, their own individual juice containers, and ONE bag or box of treats to share.
