Dear 2A Families,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! The students had a great first day back to school for 2020. In writing and religion, we talked a lot about making the most of the year, ways to show gratitude, and making goals for the year. I also heard about many adventures over break. We started a unit on Data, Graphing, and Probability and learned vocabulary words: survey, data, tally mark, and pictograph. In science this week, we will begin Unit C, Investigating Forces and Work. It was so wonderful to see all of the students again. Their smiling faces are a joy!
I wanted to remind you of the important meeting for First Reconciliation this evening. This meeting is only for parents of students who are baptized Catholic, preparing to receive First Reconciliation. The meeting is at 7 pm in the gym. Thank you for attending. If you are unable to attend, please notify Rachael Johnson at the parish office (rjohnson@smmparish.org).
