Welcome Back

Dear Students and Parents,


HAPPY EASTER SEASON!

PTG Costumes are due to school tomorrow Tuesday, May 3rd.Please have the costume on a hanger with any accessory parts in a bag around the top of the hanger to keep them from being lost or misplaced. They will remain in the class until our performance this Thursday, May 5th. Students will get dressed at school for the 12:45pm afternoon performance after they eat their lunch. Then the costumes will be sent home for the children to get dressed and ready at home for the evening show. Please be in the 4th Grade classroom by 5:40 pm for the 6pm performance. Please understand that it is important for students to be on time at 5:40 so they can join their classmates in a peaceful, calm setting. Students may become nervous and the best way to help them overcome this is for adults to provide a calm, non-stress filled environment that allows for plenty of time to relax!

Fabulous fourth grade is working on their Book In A Can Project for April's reading goals. Please see the guideline sheet for further details.

4th grade is also beginning their family life unit. I will be teaching the students about God's Design and the virtue of Christian living. This will supplement our science and religion in the weeks to come as we learn about living healthy and holy lives. Please review the book tonight with your child and feel free to read the Parent Connection handout along with the glossary of vocabulary words on Pgs. 15-16.Also, remember this is the month we honor Mary and students are welcome to bring in flowers throughout the month to show their expressions of love. This Friday we will honor Mary immediately after Mass with the May Crowning. Parents are welcome to join us and school will dismiss at 12 noon.

There are only three days worth of homework and it has been altered so students can prepare for their PTG performance.Please follow the guideline below.

Please feel free to contact me by sending a note with your child or through my diocesan email: yschmenauer@sbdiocese.org.
