Welcome to the last month of school.  Time has went by so quickly.  The weeks will become very busy as we prepare for the end of school.  Please keep your calendars ready and be sure to check planners and sign planners daily.

The May Crowing will be on Friday along with Grandparents day.  We will sit with our class on Grandparents Day.  After the Mass the students will go with their grandparents if they are there and take pictures with them.  The cafeteria will be set up for breakfast after the mass then the students will have breakfast with the grandparents.  Our class projects will be in the library if your child would like to show the grandparents. If you would like your child to leave early with their grandparent on Friday we will have a check out sheet in the classroom.  Since we will have students in different places we will have our Spelling and Reading test on THURSDAY.  Please remember to read the chapters of Charlottes web with your child.

Please let me know if their are any questions about the assignment.  

Thank you so much.

Our class will be in the Spring Program this Wednesday the 18th.  Please arrive at the school by 6:15 pm.  We will be presenting a short play about Jonah and the Whale.  The story takes place long ago in the city of Ninevah.  Students may wear scarfs, robes or anything related to their character part. Some of the students are also sailors. There is no need for fancy outfits since the story takes place long ago.  I do have some costumes that the students wore before so they are welcome to those too. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Welcome Back!!

We received some sad news over our Easter Break.  Mr. Vince Benjamin passed away unexpectedly.  He was a long supporter of OLM school who volunteered everyday to help with the lunch yard duty, help with school events, coach and referee.  Our school will be having a memorial service tomorrow at 8:15 am.  All are welcome to attend.  Mr. B was a role model for our students and he will be greatly missed.  There is a letter from Mrs. Blackburn regarding his service to the school along with Rosary and Funeral arrangements.  

On another note we only have 7 weeks of school left.  With that being said we still have a lot to complete in a short amount of time.  Continue to encourage your child to do their best in and out of class.  

In our Social Studies Unit we are discussing landmarks in the United States.  The students are very excited about the subject so I wanted to have them do a project about a Landmark.  Your student has will choose a landmark tomorrow.  A letter will be sent home tomorrow regarding our landmark project. In the past we have had great success and will display them in the library for Grandparent's day.  The project is not due until May 2nd.  

Reading - We have begun to read Charlotte's Web.  The students are to read chapters for homework as well to review what we have read in class.  Please check the planners to make sure the chapters are read for the night.
