Week of August 30 - September 3

Dear Families,

    What a great first week of school! I really enjoyed getting to know your children. They are an extremely bright, motivated, and productive group! It will be my goal to seek creative ways to support them and challenge them academically this year.

    I have a few bits of important class news to share with you this week:

Blog
Our class blog is up and running. Please bookmark it and check in often. It can be accessed at: www.grade2sjs.blogspot.com
The blog will be updated frequently with class announcements, reminders, homework assignments, and spelling words. The homework assignments and spelling words for this week have already been posted. You may want to use this resource to make sure your child is copying assignments and spelling words accurately in the Homework Notebooks.

Physical Education
Our P.E. days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please make sure that your child wears their P.E. uniform on these days, including appropriate tennis shoes for exercise.

Mass Days
Our first School Mass of the year will take place this Friday, September 3. Please remember to arrive at school EARLY at 7:45 am on days that we will celebrate Mass together. This year, the whole school will come together for Mass every Friday. The only exceptions will be weeks during which we celebrate Special Masses or Holy Days of Obligation. These dates should be noted on the School Calendar and will be posted on the blog.
