Week 28 3/31/26 - 4/6/26

Easter poses a bit of confusion with the Tuesday/Thursday schedule at times. Since we have Friday off of Good Friday and our day off for "Easter Monday" is Tuesday, technically we are supposed to have homeschool work on Monday 4/6. I have decided to post Monday's work on this week to let you get it done early if you wish to enjoy a nice, long Easter break. Feel free to complete it whenever you wish but make sure to have everything ready to turn in in their blue folder by Thursday 4/9. Please reach out if you have any questions.

 Thursday will be a big day for us as we celebrate St. Francis of Assisi Day. For a part of our celebration of St. Francis of Assisi, we will be doing a "Blessing of the animals." Please send the students with a special stuffed friend on Thursday. Make sure it's not too big and that it can fit into their backpack. The students will also be partaking in glazed donuts that afternoon, please let me know if that is something your child can't have. This is always such a special day for the students! They will bring home all of their activities made and share with you all about the day!
