Sacrament Preparation Homework and Upcoming Events

First Reconciliation Homework
We have begun our First Reconciliation preparation! Tomorrow you will be taking home your book to complete the family activities.  Please remind Mom and Dad that this is FAMILY HOMEWORK and they need to do it WITH YOU! Bring your completed project and book back to school on Monday to share. It is very important that you complete this work over the weekend with your family.

Here is a list of what to do this weekend with your family:

1. Read the Family Focus page that is stapled into your book and follow it's directions.
2. Do the At Home activity (pinwheel).
3. Complete page 17 by writing (drawings are additional and optional).
4. Write any additional thoughts your family has about Chapter 1 on the My Family's Thoughts About Chapter 1 page that is stapled into your book.
5. Have fun!

Return ALL completed Sacrament work on Monday morning.
If you are not completing the Sacraments, you have the option to complete the work listed above with your family if you would like. You materials must be returned on Monday as well.

Thanksgiving Basket Donations
Tomorrow is the last day to bring your donations of $2-$5 and canned green beans for the St. Lawrence Thanksgiving baskets.  Thank you so much for all of the donations we have in our classroom already! You are very kind and giving.

Homework
Next week we will not have regular homework as it will be a short week.  In class we will be completing a speaking poetry presentation so you will have preparation work to do for that at home.  Now and next week you should be reading for AT LEAST 20 minutes every night, reading at www.raz-kids.com and learning at www.mathletics.com.

Multicultural Grandparents Day
Bring your grandparent to school on TUESDAY for our Multicultural Grandparents Day Celebration! Mom and Dad know what else you need to bring and you should to after reading our letter in class.  Please ask tomorrow or Monday if you are not sure about what is happening. Grandparents, please come to school at 8:00 and make your way to the Community Center for our fun event!

Thank you!
Thank you to all of the families who visited St. Lawrence on Sunday, November 11th for our Open House.  It was so wonderful to see you all at Mass and promoting all of the wonderful things that are happening at our school.

There will be no homework during our Thanksgiving vacation. Enjoy your families and delicious food!
