Week 9

In our second week into November, Mrs. P.'s class has been hard at work as always! Students now have 25 sight words they are working on, and as our list of words grows longer our students' progress becomes all the more pronounced! This week students made flashcards for their newest sight words, so please look for them and practice them at home!

In woodworking this week, students finished constructing wooden oars! Students started these projects last month when Mrs. P.'s class was discussing rowing. Not only are these oars a reflection of the great hard work our students do, but a great way to remember the things we learn about here at school!

Next Tuesday, November 15, will be the school's picture retake day. If you are unsatisfied with your child's picture please prepare them for Tuesday's shoot. The first set of proofs must be returned with the retake request sheet in order for retakes to be taken.

The School of Holy Childhood has also been preparing for it's annual Thanksgiving Feast, to be held on Tuesday, November 22. Those preparing the food have asked that all classrooms contribute to the meal, and each of Mrs. P.'s students has been asked to bring in a jar of turkey gravy by next Wednesday, November 16. Our class will be preparing mini corn muffins the week of the feast. Unfortunately due to the fact that both staff and students participate in the Thanksgiving feast, the school is unable to invite families to join in the day's festivities. We hope everyone has a happy holiday and relaxing vacation at home!

Mrs. P. would also like to report what great work her students have done with their classroom job of recycling. Students collect, count, and dispose of empty Capri Sun containers and Frito Lay chip bags in an effort to earn money for our school. An added bonus of the classroom job is that students work together and get a sneak peek at what it's like to have a job. Great job everyone!
