Happy Halloween! Trunk or Treat was a great success Friday night, even with a bit of rain. Thank you Shaun for having the student council there to help with games. I'm am looking forward to another great day tomorrow when all the "saints" arrive at our doors. I will head over to Angel's Wing at 8 am to pick up the readers, altar servers, and choir, and I suggest everyone else leave the classrooms at 8:10 to get to church early to claim your seats. Please refer to the seating chart I shared last week. Students will not be able to spread out this week as usual. Please have the student sit two to a kneeler. Use the kneelers as your guide. Each kneeler has 3 legs. Have each student sit in the center of 2 legs and we should be fine. Do not leave an empty pew between classes and move up if there is room after the class(es) in front of you are in place. I will be there to assist. Once the priest comes out, PK 4, K, and 1st can move to the back of the church to line up. PK 3 should arrive between 8:20-8:25 and wait in the back of the church. After Mass, PK has asked to parade through the classrooms. We will not have a morning show tomorrow, but we will have one on Wednesday.
I have been very impressed with the Class Saints Posters that are already hanging. As you finish them, please hang them across from 5th and 3rd grade on the cork strip. They should all be up by Friday. Have the class choose the student who most exhibits the characteristics of your saint next week (week of 11/8) and we can give the Marvelous Mustang Saint award before Thanksgiving. If possible, choose someone who did not receive Marvelous Mustang this year. Please use the Marvelous Mustang spreadsheet (I have added a column). Put the name and one quality of the saint (be brief). Example: St. Anthony helps us find lost things. Mary helps others to stay organized so they can always find their homework. Only homeroom teachers should be doing this.
Please encourage your class to bring in canned/dry goods for the SVDP drive this week. While there is no school-wide competition, you could set a goal for the class (number of items) and give a reward on Friday - some extra recess or game, etc.
Finally, Thursday is the last day of the Trimester. All summative assessments should have been completed by now. This week allows time for make-ups or retakes. If you do give an assessment later in the week, it can always go towards the next trimester. This is the time to make sure everyone has made up summatives due to an absence, but not the time to be taking missing work from weeks/months ago. We should only accept assignments up to a week after the due date. However, all summatives must be completed.
Have a wonderful week!
