Dear Parents, 

Welcome back from the extended long weekend.

In Spelling we all are on Lesson 19 as we start the next 5 weeks. We have finished our Chapters in our Religion book. We will have an Unit test this week, and then we will be working on our extra reconciliation book called: Making Things Right. 

Next week is Catholic Schools Week:

• Monday, Jan. 27th: 8:45am School Mass with the Bishop. 11:30 dismissal. Extended Care needs a lunch. All students should wear their regular uniform.
• Tuesday, Jan. 28th: Share Day with 5th Grade. All 2nd graders need to bring an extra snack and drink to share with a 5th grader. Students may wear a Crazy Hat or Socks with their uniform.
• Thursday, Jan. 30th: Favorite Sports Team gear over their uniform.
• Friday, Jan. 31st: 2nd grade will be putting on Reader’s Theater for the younger classes. Your child may be asking for a prop from home. Skating after school at Cavalier Skating on Rt. 1 in Stafford at 4:30pm.
• Sunday, Feb. 2nd: Open House at school 1-3pm. Tell any interested families.

February is right around the corner, so here are some dates to keep track of:
 

• Tues., Feb. 11th: 2nd grade will celebrate the 100th day of school in the afternoon. (We choose a day best for our class to celebrate). The students will bring in 100+ small, less than 1inch, disposable items to glue to a board, we will give them the board. Items like Cheerios’, Fruit Loops, tiny marshmallows are a few examples. Those left over address stickers you get in the mail, with the pretty pictures, are perfect for this also. Just cut off your address. Start collecting now. May bring in at any time. Mrs. Porter needs help with a 10 extra treats so that we may make a tasty treat with 100 items. No extra help is needed for this day. 
• Fri., Feb. 14th: Valentine’s Day… for 2nd graders, the easiest for them is to just sign the back of the cards and leave the front blank. Random pass out is the easiest. We will have a small treat to go with a small party at the end of the day. May bring Valentines in at any time. No extra help needed. New students: our class size is at 20.
• Mon., Feb.17: No school

… and my month of February is almost done …

Welcome back,
Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Thombs
