| We had a great start to our school year! Though it was only half a week we managed to get a lot done and started learning how to work together as a class. Thank you for entrusting me with your wonderful children. We started reading books by our Author of the Month, Marc Brown. He writes the "Arthur" series. We will be learning author facts and comparing Brown's style to other authors. Check out the website link from our list. This year is a Jubilee year for the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur. They came to Lockport 150 years ago and established Catholic education here. The children are being challenged to perform 150 acts of kindness this year to honor the Jubilee celebration. We have started our new math series that closely aligns with the new Common Core standards. There is a big emphasis on memorizing math facts and mastering addition and subtraction. The student edition is available online and you will be receiving a user name and password for your student so that you can access it. I will have more information and a demonstration at Open House. Have a great weekend! | |
