                             Thankful for November
 
What a busy and fun-filled "wild weather" week we had at OLL!  I would like to say a special thanks to all of the parent volunteers who helped with COSI.  It was a great success!  We could not have pulled it off without all of the volunteers.  Hopefully your child talked a little weather with you this week.
 
This week will be back to the regular routine.  Please make sure that your child is re-reading the weekly story and going over the vocabulary on Wednesday nights.  The selection tests are usually given on Thursdays.
 
I look forward to meeting with each of you on Tuesday or Thursday night.  If for some reason you can't make your scheduled time please send me and e-mail.
 
Our class will be shopping at the Book Fair during our library time on Wednesday, November 18 and again on Thursday, November 19, after lunch recess.  The children have brought home an invitation to invite their grandparent to come and shop with them on the 18th.  Parents are also welcome to join us on that day.
 
Please be aware that there will be a Social Studies test on Tuesday, November 10.  The children have known about this for about a week.  The vocabulary words are posted on my web page.
 
 
 
    Remember jackets on cold/rainy days.
 

LITURGY OF THE WORD WITH CHILDREN Many of our first, second, and third graders are regularly attending Liturgy of the Word with Children at the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass.  This is a wonderful way for your young children to participate in the Sunday Mass.  Children leave their pews before the First Reading and go to the Pieta Room to hear the readings read from the Lectionary for Masses with Children.  They have the opportunity to discuss and reflect on these readings.  Children go back to their seats at the Offertory.  Make the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass a habit in your household.  Children often like the routine of going to the same Mass, especially when it offers something special for them. 


Please continue to email me if you have any questions or concerns.  I appreciate your ongoing support!
