I want to let you know that I do take a grade on the weekly reading log.  If it is not in on time, then points are deducted.  If the children just copy a few lines from the book and don't give me just a summary, points are deducted. At this point of the year the children are all capable of reading on their own.  This is their homework, I do appreciate the fact that you make sure it is done but they need to take some responsibility for it themselves.  If you can not find books for them to read at home, please let me know and I will send some your way.
The children are bringing home a Family homework paper that was due today, but for some reason we did not get it until today.  If you can go over this with them and have them bring it back on Monday, it will be helpful to our student ambassadors.

The children did an awesome job reading at Mass today.  We received many compliments from a lot of people. I was very proud of them.
Tomorrow we will have a spelling test and a religion test.  The weekly reading log is also due tomorrow.

The children will have a religion test on Friday.  They have to memorize the 8 things that occur in the first part of the Mass (The  Liturgy of the Word)  We have been working on this in class.  They should be bringing home the list tonight.  The weekly reading log is due on Friday.
Remember we are doing the readings at the 8:30 Mass tomorrow.

The children have 2 math papers and a spelling paper for homework tonight.  Their weekly reading log is due on Friday. 
We will be having our classroom spelling bee the week of December 19.
We will be viewing the book fair tomorrow afternoon and  making out a wish list of books we would like to have.

Tonight when the children bring home their spelling notebooks, please remind them to not only copy their new words for the week , but to also look over Unit 12 words that gave them trouble on last week's test.  We marked those this morning in our spelling notebook.
Remember we are collecting gently used shoes for the children of Honduras and any small amount of money the children can earn to donate to buy uniforms for these children. This is our advent project.

Just a reminder about the "gently used shoes"  we are collecting for the children of Honduras.
We will be doing the 8:30 Mass on Thursday, December 8th, please join us if possible.
The children are excited about reading in Mass that day. Have a great weekend. 

Religion (Chapter 9)and Spelling tests tomorrow.  The weekly reading log is due.  Tomorrow is a 2 dollar jeans day.
