Happy Friday! 

Great job to our readers and gift bearers at Mass today! If your child did not have a part in today's Mass, don't worry! We have a few more turns!

Today I sent home a project outline for our term project in Science. It is to build a home/structure for the "fourth" little pig in the Three Little Pig fairytale. Please go over it with your child as they should be able to tell you about it. No store bought houses are allowed! The out line can also be found on a link on the sidebar.

Next week, we are back to the Spelling program with Unit 7. (Please take note that we are NOT doing Unit 6- Review)

Please read your child's interim report and return it to school, signed. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to email me!


Have a great weekend!
