It's been such a bad week for coughs and colds! We have friends that have missed school and we miss them!!! Get well soon!

FRIDAY is Adoration and confession for our class. Please discuss what this means with your child. We will prepare ourselves with the examination of conscience before we go. It is such a great opportunity to help prepare ourselves for Lent!

Recorders are being sent home this week. Please put them in the dishwasher to sanitize them.

Homework has been lighter this week, as we are also "preparing" ourselves for Spring Break!!! The weather has been cooperating :)

Homework:
1. Sp Unit 22 due Fri
2. Socials (O Canada- 10 images drawn or cut and glued that represent what is Canadian) due Fri (Those who are away and would like to catch up on work, this is a good one to do! Just use a regular sheet plain paper!)

What a beautiful Mass we had today to celebrate the beginning of Lent. The students each got a bun for lunch and reflected on what it means to fast and go without, even if it was just for one meal.

Light homework nights this week! The students have worked really hard all term and as we wind down this term, a lot of our work is just "wrap up" and beginning of our new units.

Homework:
1. V.I.P. title page

March 4

Tomorrow is ASH WEDNESDAY, the beginning of Lent. Please refrain from packing treats in your child's lunch, as we are partaking in a poor man's lunch. We will supply the students with buns at lunch. You may supplement with fruits or vegetables. We would appreciate it if you did not pack treats or juice. Mass is at 9am and we would love to see you there. 

We talked today about what we are giving up for Lent (fasting) and what we are doing for others (almsgiving and prayer). Please discuss this with your child so you can support them with their Lenten sacrifice.

Your child is taking home their Socials Test today! I was very happy with the results! Yay you! Please sign and return! If your child needs to take a retest, please keep the original test until Thursday to use to study. Send the original test with your signature on THURSDAY.

Tomorrow is the Apostle's Creed Quiz. It will be fill in the blanks!

Homework:
1. Lent caterpillar
2. Ramona questions Ch5-6
3. When I was sick... paragraph RD
