Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone and welcome back! I will be out of town this week, attending the National Catholic Educators Association Conference. In my place, Miss Truc will be teaching my class. Miss Truc is a candidate, soon to be a novice, with the Sisters of Mary Queen, Sr. Terry's order. She is also a certified teacher. She subbed for me in October and she has been volunteering with the fifth grade all year. The children know her and I am confident that they will enjoy the week with her. In math, we will be taking a planned break from the Saxon math lessons to review and practice our basic multiplication and division facts. It is essential that the students have a good mastery of these. Math homework for the week will focus on this for students who still need to work on mastery and speed.

I look forward to seeing everyone again next Monday. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. For more immediate needs, please contact Mrs. Harwerth in the school office (972-253-8284) or Sr. Terry (slcsau@yahoo.com) .
