HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK!

Science- This week we will begin our discussion of the endocrine system. The text book will not be used for the unit. I have not set a test date yet, but it will cover the whole packet as this is a fairly short unit. Homework each night is to review everything in the packet that has been done.

Religion- This week we will continue our discussion of the parts of the mass in Chapter 10- We Receive Holy Communion. We will also do an activity to celebrate Catholic Schools Week and create Valentine cards to send to the Veteran's retirement homes. We did this at Veteran's Day and had a great response from the facilities to which we mailed our cards.

Homeroom FYI:
On Friday we will celebrate class mass at 8:45 a.m. Parents are invited to attend.

Valentine's Day cards: I will allow time on Valentine's Day for the children to exchange cards. I ask that they bring one for each student in class (30) and that they only sign their name on the cards. It takes too long to hand out if cards are addressed to each student. If your child prefers to bring candy, that is fine, too. Just remember NO NUTS ALLOWED. Please let me know if you have any questions.
