Dear 4B Families,
Holy Week has arrived! Much of our focus this week will be related to Holy Week events and study. Tuesday we will have an All-School Mass so perfect uniform is required. On Holy Thursday we have two events. In the morning the whole school will gather for our Lenten Outreach Prayer Service. We will bring over the items we have been collecting during Lent to be blessed before they are distributed to the various organizations that will receive them.
Thank you for sending in items for this collection by Thursday at the latest:
- Monetary donations for Uganda and the Rice Bowl
- Canned food for the Holy Rosary food bank collection
- For St. Vincent de Paul Society: socks, blankets, toiletries such as tooth paste, tooth brushes, deodorant, soap, etc.
On Thursday afternoon we will meet with our Faith Families to celebrate Holy Thursday together.
On Friday, at 11:00, we will gather in the church for The Stations of the Cross. We will be dismissing in silence following the Lenten Outreach, the Holy Thursday Faith Family event, and the Stations of the Cross. We will also dismiss in silence at the end of the day.. Thank you for helping support this action of respect as you pick up your children. Perfect uniform is required on Tuesday and Friday this week.
Science: This week we will be finishing our unit on wind with the completion of our windmills. The students will be able to test to see how many objects their windmills were able to lift by the strength of their blades. The objective this week is to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of their windmills and how they could be improved.
Religion: In class we will be wrapping up our Beatitude flip-book and focus on the events of Holy Week.
Flat Stanley: Hopefully the students are remembering their Flat Stanley journals. At this point they should have one or two entries completed. Be sure that you have also read the directions carefully for specific expectations. These journal entries are expected to be high quality and show the student’s best writing and effort. Students should do rough drafts before they write in their journals.
I hope you all have a lovely Easter and spring break.
- There is a spelling test this Friday for lesson 15.
