PRINCIPAL’S CORNER:

Thank you to all the new families that participated in our conferences. It is such a pleasure to share in your children’s success! Just a reminder that your child may be eligible to receive special education services after school through SSD. The program is called SNAP. Please contact me if you are interested in learning more.

There will be no school for staff development on Friday, September 22, and Tuesday, October 3, 2023, due to St. Jude’s relic being displayed at St. Joseph.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK!
A big shout out to our friend, Jack! He has been working so hard daily, using his voice to communicate with us. We love it when we hear his voice!!!

I’m incredibly proud of our class this week – We have created a great family! They are always so eager to help out and comfort a friend. I love to see them spreading kindness!
Also, we are looking forward to celebrating Eva’s birthday this week!

Students continued to learn about the Early American Colonialism- in US history. They focused on the lifestyle and dwellings of the Native American culture. In ELA, we studied Bradford’s “Of Plymouth Plantation” and had our first Literature on the Lawn Lesson, where students brought in blankets and immersed themselves in 17th-century literature. On Monday, we will have a vocab Quiz in Science over lessons 1-3.

Students have physical copies of all the terms in their binders!

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK:
We enjoyed a special treat this week by making our homemade apple pies. We all took turns peeling apples, checking on the oven, and enjoying a yummy slice, too!
