Happy Friday! 9/17

Hi Parents! 

This week, we've been really starting to encourage more and more independence with classwork. Students are doing well coming in each morning and being self-starters with directions in the front of the room. We are able to prep for the day quickly and get started with our lessons shortly after prayers. Students are getting new headings set up for lessons in their copybooks well. The expectation is a neatly written, cursive title, a date next to it, and underlined with red pen and ruler. Then, we skip the first line and start with our notes and practice. 1x/trimester, each subject will receive a copybook check. This is a CW grade based on primarily, neatness, completeness, and organization. These are unannounced, but won't begin until at least halfway through each trimester. 

As a heads up, your child will soon be asked for a Baptism photo. This can be of themselves, a family member, or friend. It can be printed and brought in or emailed to me. If you send me a photo from an album, it will be returned in the same condition - not glued/cut/used for a project. We are hoping to make a display in the classroom. Other family members/priest/deacon in photos are fine. Once I officially assign the photo HW, they will have several days to bring one in.
