First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of Feb. 20, 2012

        This week begins the holy season of Lent.  We prepare for our great celebration of Christ’s death and Resurrection on Easter.  Your children are learning that Lent does not just mean “giving up” things for Catholics.  We make sacrifices, do good deeds, give alms, and take time for meaningful prayer.  Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.  This Wednesday we will attend Mass at 8:15 and receive our ashes.  Mass, of course, means full uniform (long pants for boys and dresses for girls).  We will not be having Learning Centers that day so perhaps many of you can attend Mass with us.

        This Friday, Feb. 24 the second trimester Report Cards will be distributed.  All of your child’s graded papers will be returned after Report Cards go home.

        The students are really enjoying Learning Centers, and I appreciate the volunteers who have helped so far.  We still need more adult volunteers, especially on Thursdays so if you are available, we would love to have you join us!
