We had an awesome first day back at STM, including warm weather and making birthday cards for Ezekiel. We're diving deeper into division this week, the spelling list is one of review, and our review of each of the seven sacraments begins. This week asks a lot of the third grade families, including sandwiches for the needy on Wednesday (4/22) and help completing a small project about family history.
This week's literature selection is about oral history, and how the history of a people can be passed down from one generation to the next. Questions about family history will be decided by students, and will not require anything extraordinary. Today, students are to list one (or two) people they can speak to about their family history. Tomorrow, students will make a list of questions to ask this person (or people), and will need to take notes when listening to the answers. The remainder of the week will allow students to transform their notes into a few paragraphs about their family history.
This Wednesday (4/22) is our second Chevy's night, benefiting the Outdoor Education program. The location is in South San Francisco from 4:00-10:00pm.
STM will have a Knockout competition on Friday (4/24) at 1:15pm. The cost is $5.00. Forms went home today, and the bottom portion and fee are due no later than Thursday (4/23). Hopefully all students will want to participate in this form of basketball game!
As for an update on my father's condition, he is home and recovering well. His surgeon has told our family that, with the removal of a portion of my father's kidney and the tumor, he is now cancer-free! There will be follow-up tests and my father will have a slow and somewhat painful recovery, but this news is the best we could have asked for from his doctors. My family and I genuinely appreciate your thoughts and prayers over these few weeks, and look forward to happier days ahead.
Welcome back! : )
