Mass on this Sunday November 24th

Hello Parents,

Our class Mass is this Sunday at 10am.  We will be participating with the 4th Grade CCD class.

I know that many of the boys are already committed to the Mother/Son Bowling Activity, and that is fine!!  Everyone else, please let me know if you are able to come! It sounds like it is going to be mostly girls, which is perfectly fine!

Please know that the mass is not mandatory, but I would LOVE to see as many people there as can come.

Tomorrow in class, I will be selecting the students who will be the greeters and bring gifts to the altar.

Thank you,
Miss Jones

Parent Teacher Conferences and Novel News

Hello and Happy Sunday!

I hope you are all having a nice weekend.  Here are a few updates about the coming weeks.

Parent Teacher Conferences
     This week, school gets out at 12:00, Monday-Friday.  Parent teacher conferences begin promptly at 1:00 each day.
     Each conference is 20 minutes long and the school bells will be programmed to ring every twenty minutes, signaling the end of one conference and the beginning of the next.  With this in mind, I am asking that you please arrive promptly for your conference so that we can utilize the time we have.
     I am looking forward to meeting with you all!

Because of Winn-Dixie
     Starting as early as next week, we are going to be beginning our unit on the novel Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo.
     We already have about 25 copies in the classroom, but I was wondering if any families have extra copies that their students can use for the duration or if anyone would be willing to donate copies to the class set.  If so, please send me an email so I know how many more copies I need to order.

4th Grade Leading Mass on Sunday, November 24
     Each month, one of the grades from both CCD and the school, work together to participate in a Sunday Liturgy. In two weeks, the 4th grade class will be participating. The date is Sunday, November 24 at 10am.  
     I am asking that all the students come to the Mass.  Although not all students will be "actively" participating (i.e., greeting and carrying the gifts) we will be working on this as a class during the next few weeks.  If you have a conflict, please send me an email to let me know, otherwise I look forward to seeing everyone there.
     The students do not have to come in their uniforms, regular dress is fine.

Thank you,
Miss Jones
