Cool Down Tuesday!

The cool down is definitely refreshing and geared us into a wonderful working and learning mode today!!

Today we focused on problem solving stories in math and dictating story problems, identifying words for sentences that make sense, practicing for Mass, reading, and identifying push/pull forces that move objects!

Tonight, your child has Pictures and Words homework! Have them view the pictures and identify how they're different, followed by having them read the words to identify which words go with each picture!!

Do you know a family who is searching for a respectable and honorable school to send their child(ren) to?!  If you refer a family and they choose St. Luke School to become their own and register their children, you and your family will be exempt from required volunteer hours next year (with the exception of helping for our most fabulous Fall Festival which is always a fun-filled time)!!!
