I for one am so happy to have found this school. Anyone who actually values and understands the need for a quality education and wants a small family- oriented school should take a look at this school. The school is better managed, more disciplined, and safer than it has been in the last few years. The children are happy and learning- what more could a parent want?
Students from grades 3-8 incoming now have fun homework online at www.learning.com
Each child received a USER ID and password if they are returning to the school. It can be done any where in the world you are as long as their is internet access.
Assignments posted will end on 8/25/10 so that I can grade them and have the results for parents to review.
Enjoy! and Have a happy summer

Two snow days and now VACATION!! All I ask is that you all find a book you love and read it all the way through-I will too! Ring Day was beautiful and I am so proud of each and every one of you. Even though we’ve heard from many high schools and think we know where we’re heading don’t forget all the work that’s left to do-like NYS Tests. There are many good things ahead also. My group needs to bring in slips on Monday to have our party and permission slips for the new group forming. So much to do-so little time!!! Let’s enjoy and work hard from now until June-we all need to be the role models for the younger grades-we can do it! Stay safe, stay warm, stay happy and see you on Monday, February 22!

We can’t believe January is almost over! Our class has been very busy since we returned from our Christmas vacation. The brand new year has been lots of fun. Two of our classmates turned 5!
We’ve completed alphabet activities for letters J, W and I. We made orange juice to celebrate the letter J. We brainstormed things to do in winter and made magic wands for “W” and we had an ice cream party to celebrate the letter I. In March we are going to follow the Iditarod online, the famous husky dogsled race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska.
We are very excited to be using inchworms to learn how to measure inches in our classroom Math Center. We increased our math knowledge when we made juice for the letter J by counting oranges and learning about fractions and halves.
We celebrated MLK’s birthday and watched “Our Friend Martin” a great video which details his storied life.
Currently we are working on our “All About Me” theme and painting our life-sized portraits which will be displayed outside our classroom in time for Catholic Schools Week (Jan 31-Feb 5). We hope you will visit our School Open House on Sunday, January 31st from 12-2pm or during class on Tuesday, February 2nd from 9-11am or 1-2:30pm.
Next Monday February 1st we will celebrate School Spirit! This year, through random lottery, our class colour is brown! Children are encouraged to wear brown if possible. We have created our very own PreK1 cheer!
February 3rd is a big day for two reasons!
First, it is Student/Teacher Appreciation Day and most importantly, its Elmo’s Birthday!!! We will have an “Elmo Says Make Me Laugh” contest in class! We’ll also go visit Elmo in person at Madison Square Garden to see his new show “Elmo Grows Up” on Feb 10.
On Friday, February 5th we will compete in the school-wide Olympics. Please arrive at 6:30pm.
The 100th day of school is fast approaching on February 11th! A celebration is in order!
February 12 will be an extra-special day as we celebrate the Lunar New Year: Year of the Tiger and of course Valentine’s Day. We will be making special Valentine mailboxes so the students can exchange Valentines.
Winter break begins at dismissal on February 12th. We return to school on Feb 22nd.
Ciao for now from PreK1!
We are busy preparing for Catholic Schools Week! Stay tuned for more info!
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS’ WEEK!
We are getting ready to celebrate Holy Angels Catholic Academy during the week of January 31st. Eighth grade has a lot of great things to celebrate and look forward to. High school acceptances and RING DAY! A new ring has been ordered for each student. They were able to pick the color of their stone reflecting our new academy (thank you Mrs. McGoldrick!). We are ready to take 2010 by storm-working hard and doing wonderful things. Homework will be posted soon-back to school tomorrow!
