Happy New Year!
it is wonderful to be back with your scholars! We have been busy in revisiting and tightening up our routines, getting back to citing evidence from our texts and estimating an answer before finding out the actual answer.
Next week we will have our MAPs testing reconvene with reading. We have been working
on how to provide or to find the BEST answer, and back it up with specific information from the text. Please make sure your child gets good rest and comes to school on time for school. Today we had an assembly for the MAPS testing, to get them excited for the experience. We revisited our goals from before conference time, and some of us adjusted them.
In yesterday's homily, we learned that it is still considered Christmas time in the church, because Christmas is a season, not just a day. We also read a brief biography on Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, for she became North America's first patron saint 43 years ago. Ask us one or two facts we learned about her! Since we are now a part of Seton schools, it is imortant to know who the steward was that started our schools 210 years ago in Maryland!
Stay warm! Let's pray the weather people are correct that it will soon be warming up!
