Last Minute Reminders...

Please wear proper full school uniform to school tomorrow for Christmas mass. You can send PE uniforms in student's backpacks to change into after mass.

Also, please send a pair of black pants to keep students warm under their costumes for the Christmas Concert.

Looking forward to seeing the performances tomorrow, it will be a great show!

Secret Santa!

Spelling List #16 & Parent-Teacher Interview Clarification

The test for Spelling List #16 will take place after winter vacation on Friday, January 10th. This is a very busy week with mass, rehearsals, the Christmas concert and our Christmas Party, so we will not have a Spelling Test this week. Students can take a rest and enjoy their last week before winter vacation!

Also, to clarify for Part-Teacher interviews, the second quarter interviews will be the same as the first quarter ones, 10 minutes each running from 1-2:30. Please write in your child's book what time you would like to come.

Thanks!

Secret Santa

Christmas is quickly approaching and that means....it's SECRET SANTA TIME!

In D.I.S.K. tradition, K2 will be having it's annual Secret Santa!

Check student's Communication Books for the name of the student they are responsible for buying a gift for. Please buy a 500NT gift for your child's Secret Santa recipient for the gift exchange on Wednesday December 18th.

This will be a secret, so shhhhhh, don't tell your friend that you're their Secret Santa.

Have fun & Hope you're all getting in the Christmas spirit!

Calling All Shoe Boxes

In Math class we will be making balances with shoe box lids to help students better understand weight. If you have any shoe boxes at home, please send them to school tomorrow with your child! I can return them afterwards if you need them back!

Thanks!

Today's Homework

Please look at your child's spelling test and sign at the bottom.

If students made any errors, please write the corrected word 3 times. If students made no mistakes, then no homework for them :)

Please return spelling tablets by Friday

Today's Homework

Please complete Journey's Practice Book pg. 44, 46.

Please read Lucia's Neighborhood p. 87-91 3 times in Journey's Reading Book.

It is important not to read ahead with your child, please only go as far as is assigned for homework. By working ahead students may memorize the story which distracts from teaching techniques in class that teach your child life-long reading skills. Thanks!
