January 27

Good afternoon,
We had a very busy week. Our story was, The Last Dragon. Since this is the Year of the Dragon, we 
made dragon toys and then "paraded" our dragons through the school. The students had a lot of fun with this. Hopefully they brought them home in one piece to share with you.
Next week is Catholic Schools Week. I will try and remind you each day about the activities going on.
 Most students have returned their permission slip to go to Assumption on Thursday. If you have not,
then please get that back to us.
Sunday is the opening Mass and we are encouraging the students to wear their uniform to Mass. 
After Mass come over to the gym and sample the chili that several faculty members are making!
Monday is Buddy Lunch. I told the students that they were welcome to bring a game from home to play during the recess part of the hour. Remember that lunch Monday is from 11:30-12:30. It looks to be a fun and full week!
In addition to our fun activities the students at Lourdes are collecting items for Birthright all week.
A note will go home at the beginning of the week with further explanation. This will be a school wide
service project.
Students did bring home their math test today.
Have a great weekend.

Meet Your Teacher:

Welcome to 4th grade. I am Mrs. Susan Smith. This will be my 22nd year teaching at Lourdes Catholic School! I can hardly believe it. I taught 5th grade, 1st grade, and now, this is my fifth year in 4th grade. I love teaching and every year brings new and exciting challenges.I am a graduate of Drake University with a degree in elementary education and a minor in social studies.
