We are in the Thanksgiving Program tomorrow night Thursday November 13, 2014. We have been practicing our performance and the children are eager to get up on stage.  We will meet in our classroom at 6:15 pm.  The program starts at 6:30 pm.  Children are to wear something nice.  Church clothes are fine. See you there!

We are making a Native American costume. Please bring in an adult sized white t-shirt. One of Dad's old ones is perfect! Turn in ASAP.

As we give thanks for the blessings in our lives let us not forget those in need. Each year the classes at OLM gather various supplies and create shoe boxes filled with necessities and small toys for the poor in third world countries. I will be sending home a flyer of things that your child can bring to contribute to our Operation Christmas shoebox. Due:  Monday November 17th

Prayer of the Month: Hail Holy Queen

Rosary:

Please take some time to pray one decade with your child helping them move from bead to bead. We will say the rosary as a school family Wednesday morning (children may bring their rosary).

Sight Words: 

Many of the students are struggling with the sight words. Please practice them daily with your child. Start with three and continue adding until they know the first quarter set. It helps to have the children write their sight words and use them in a very simple sentence. I will be giving the children a sight word test this week.         

  

Halloween Carnival: 

Thank you for bringing in the bags of candy.  Your help is greatly appreciated.  Also, stop by the classroom and sign up for a time to work at our class booth. This qualifies for service hours!
