Proud Kindergartners!!!
We have worked so hard all week long and can successfully say we are finished with ITBS testing this week!!!
I could not be more proud of the effort shown by the students and the wonderful job they have done this week!
I also couldn't be more proud of them for the loving classroom community that they have worked so hard to create in our classroom on a daily basis!! They are truly shining Jesus' light and love as they learn and work together!
Today we had an excellent time decorating our own cupcakes with blue frosting and blue and yellow sprinkles all by ourselves for the Feast of St. Luke!! We then enjoyed eating them amongst each other and sharing in such a special time!
We are still observing our pumpkin for any changes and signs of growth as we are watering and caring for it daily!!
Our Spanish teachers came today to teach us Spanish through games and activities!
We also had Music today in which we are working on learning our Christmas song for the Christmas pageant! I will be sending home the lyrics and website for the recording sound of the song next week for you to practice at home with your child to prepare them for the pageant and for you to have the opportunity to take part in their learning process of such a wonderful event!
Please make sure you are reading with your child every night in order to record your reading stories and times on our reading logs!! The students are so excited to come in each day to share the stories they have at home!!
I hope you each have a wonderful and enjoyable weekend!!!
Special Reminders:
Each day is a new day for a miracle to be witnessed!
The light that shines from within a child is the true light of Christ!!
Embrace every moment--for every moment was given especially to you from God to see his beauty in everyone, everything, every where!!!

Rainy Rainy Tuesday!
Another rainy day today, but we did get a chance to get outside in-between the rain for Team Relay Races after our hard work on ITBS Testing!!
To prepare for the feast of St. Luke on Friday, we are learning all about him and his wonderous works as a Saint and follower of Jesus this week!
Today we did more work with our pumpkin in our classroom to predict whether it would sink or float, experimenting, and then concluding that the pumpkin did FLOAT, but it turned upside down!! We also measured the height of our pumpkin using linking cubes after predicting how many linking cubes tall it would be. It measured 17 linking cubes tall!!
REMINDERS:
TONIGHT is the Appreciation Dinner for Fall Festival at 6:00p.m. in the Parish Hall!!! Hope to see you there!!!
Please send in 1 healthy snack with your child each day this week for ITBS Testing!!

ITBS Testing!
ITBS Testing will begin next week, Monday, October 14th
and will take place each day of the week in the morning through Friday, October
18th. It is VERY IMPORTANT that your
child is well-rested, has eaten a healthy breakfast before coming to school,
and arrives at school on time at 7:45 a.m.
PLEASE send in ONE healthy snack each day next week with
your child to have during the test break.
This could include fruits, vegetables, cheese and crackers, granola,
etc. This will ensure that your child is
ready to show what they know during the test in the most comfortable
environment as they are well-rested and have good energy from the food they
have eaten! THANK YOU!
