week 2-16 to 2-19

Hey 4th graders--- Hope you enjoyed your four day weekend---- I sure did!!!!!!!
This is another short week!

This week our class will be performing Stations of the Cross on Friday 2-19-10 at 8:00 AM after prayer. Please come and experience the realistic stations . It is very moving to see people carrying their challenging crosses like Jesus did. This will really open your eyes to the suffering of others around the world.


A missing work sheet will be sent home if your child is missing any work. They will be given until Thursday- no later- to get the work in. If it is turned in after the date the work will given zero credit. Even though the work is late, your child needs to be responsible to get it in. Please make sure they do this!!!!!! It is a hard lesson to learn, but a very valuable one.

DAILY HOMEWORK: read each night (even on weekends) and do F.I.M - if you can't do the computer , please have them work on flashcards for 15-20 min each day!!!!!

MARIPOSA TRIP is scheduled for April 29, 2010 and is a full day!!!! We probably won't be back until 3:30 Pm. I have added a gold panning activity which will cost each child $4. Each parent who will attend will need to pay $4 per place we attend- so $8 each parent. I will need chaperones and drivers for that day. I will be sending home a permission slip very soon!

We are planning a trip to visit our pen pals in Los Banos in March- the trip may include a movie with the children at the theatre. More info to come
