***WOO HOO, STARTING FRIDAY, SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER!***
Week of June 6, 2022
Wow! This is the last week of school! Our efforts and hard work has paid off. We made it through grade one! Time to celebrate as we move onto summer and next year!
MR. ARRIA
We greatly thank and appreciate Mr. Arria for being our loving friend and leader. For teaching and guiding us to be good, to be selfless and encourage us to serve others. We wish him all the best to a well deserved retirement.
MR. LANE
We congratulate Mr. Lane as he takes on his new position as principal. We wish him the best as he continues to lead our school with care, compassion, and his wonderful talents.
Friendly Reminder
Do you have a Summer Learning Schedule?
I hope you can implement a summer practice/review schedule for the benefit of your child. Just 30-45 minutes a day, three days a week. How about right after breakfast or right after dinner? Whichever works for you! Please don’t let your child fall into the “summer slide”! Any extra practice and review will be helpful and make for an easier, smooth transition for your child as they return back to school in the fall.
Field Day-Wednesday June 8th
Wednesday, June 8th is Field Day. Students will walk back and forth to the field at Malden Catholic for activities and games. As you know, sandals and flip flops are not good walking attire. Please be sure your child wears sneakers with socks. Please be sure to check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for the day. There is no shade at the stadium, use sunscreen before leaving home. If it is a cool day, wear a windbreaker or sweatshirt. Thank you.
Last Day of School-Friday June 10th
Friday is the last day of school.
End of the Year Celebration Mass
We will celebrate Mass on Friday at 8:00.

Friendly Repeat Reminder!
Academic Summer Plans/Ideas
Have you thought of a summer plan yet? If you have not thought of putting forth academic efforts during the summer, now would be a good time to start thinking of a plan or schedule. As stated in a previous post, some suggestions may be to read under a tree. Keep a Summer Reading Log. Complete a short math page daily at the picnic table, use a clipboard to make it “official”. Keep a notebook and practice illustrating with details and writing complete sentences. Have students set up the page like they would in school. Try any of these suggestions three days a week to keep things current and fresh.
Any extra practice and review over the summer will be helpful and will make for an easier, smooth transition as your child returns back to school in the fall.

We will celebrate Mass on Thursday. Please bring your child to church at arrival. Mass begins at 8:00. Thank you.

Have a wonderful week!Week of May 2, 2022
I hope you had a very nice weekend. Sorry about the length of this, but I think it is important. Students have worked and continue to work so very hard this school year. I’m sure some of you are already thinking about summer. Rest and relaxation is important, but please help your child so as they do not regress on what they have already learned this school year. The pandemic has already made an impact on all and we do not want students to fall into the summer slide. Keeping your child engaged will help! Please consider and think about the following for this summer.
Something to Think About
A Summer Schedule/ Academic Plans and Ideas/ Suggestions
It will be helpful to your child to keep academics current, polished, and fresh over the summer. If you have not thought of putting forth efforts during the summer, now would be a good time to start thinking of a schedule or a plan to put in place. Choose two or three days a week that fits into your schedule, 30-45 minutes each day. A schedule that works for you! Important Note: Not everything needs to be done everyday. Choose, alternate, and mix it up! Just enough to keep your child engaged in practic and learning, so as to not suffer from summer learning loss. Please consider implementing a plan/schedule for your child this summer.
Here are some suggestions or ideas that may be helpful.
***Keep a Summer Fun Bag ready to go when needed. Collect a bag of books and bring them with you to read, at the park on a picnic blanket, in the backyard under a tree, in the sand at the beach.
***Keep a reading log. Log the date. Log the time started and stopped, measuring the elapsed time. Who did you read to? Where were you? What was the title? How many pages were read? Add up how many pages were read for the week? Call a grandparent and read to them over FaceTime. Lots you can do with reading and math.
***Complete a short math page at the picnic table, on the porch, or balcony. Use a clipboard or a wipe off board. Add a ruler to use as a number line.
***Keep a notebook to practice illustrating and writing complete sentences. Bring colored pencils(crayons melt) to color beautiful pictures. Write about the fun experiences of summer! Write about a story that you read or a character you liked!
***Create your own stories, with characters, settings, and plots.
***Draw pictures of people and scenes that you see, along with writing about the activities you do during the day.
***Create your own game or activity and write the directions out on paper. Create a board to go with the game, including game pieces.
***Use flashcards with words and math facts to review.
***Play card games, Scrabble, or any board game that uses dice and counting.In doing some educational academics during the summer, students will have an easier transition when entering school in the fall.Progress Reports
Progress Reports will be sent home on Wednesday. Please read, sign, and return it to school on Thursday. Thank you.

Welcome Back! I hope you all had a safe and fun vacation. I hope your Easter was filled with happiness and spending time with family.
As we return from our last vacation this school year, we begin to settle back into our daily routine once again. We need to remember that we still have much to do and learn before summer! It is important to continue to practice and review as we continue to move forward. Please continue to read, write, and practice math, nightly. We do not want students to fall behind after all the efforts and hard work that has been accomplished throughout our school year. Thank you so much for your continued help!
