Greetings!
This is my favorite liturgical season! We will be praying the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy all during Lent. Students can bring in a rosary if they have one. In addition, we will begin assigning roles, writing, and rehearsing for our Shadow Stations of the Cross. Please mark your calendar for April 14th, Good Friday, to witness this moving journey to Calvary with our fifth graders.
If you have not yet returned your conference form, please do that as soon as possible. Also, in order to plan for conferences I need all the signed MAP goal forms. Please ask you student if it has been turned in.
FYI - Students are running low on a few supplies, specifically pencils and white board markers. Please replenish as needed. Thank you!
I look forward to meeting with you at conferences to discuss this last push toward middle school.
Carpe Diem!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~Henry Stanley Haskins
