Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I'm excited to finish strong before our winter break coming up in two weeks! We have a short amount of time left, but a lot to cover! :) I'm especially looking forward to studying our new virtue this week, righteousness, and studying the life of the Monks who demonstrated loyalty and devotion to God!

On Wednesday, December 5th, we will have a book exchange in class! We would love for you to bring a classical book that is new or gently used, so the students can enjoy giving a present to a friend and going home with a new book!

Looking forward to a wonderful week,

Mrs. Poncy


Important Info: 

Math: It's time to start memorizing the 4s multiplication tables! Please take time over the next couple of weeks to focus/review these, as they will be assessed in two weeks! Also, students will be assessed Wednesday on Mental Math addition and subtraction (the mental math rules we have been covering in class.) Please review a few problems in Math TB 2B, p12-14, on Tuesday for extra practice, and we will review MON in class as well.

Science: This is our last week of Rock Show and Tell! Please have your child bring their last two rocks they collected to class on Wednesday, and I will take up their Rock Collection Forms then!
