Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Picture day went well despite the rain. Everyone stayed looking spiffy all day!
We had a guest in on Thursday to teach the students about the Rosary. They all seemed to enjoy it very much.
We are having a canned food drive this week at school. Also, there is a pasta lunch on the 25th for those students who purchase tickets and pizza day is on Wednesday. Please see the St. Gregory Sunday memo for more information about these events, interesting speakers, and guidelines for Halloween costumes.
We will be spending an hour outside rather than in class on Wednesday for Take Me Outside day. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather. Information can be found at this link:

Please see the updates below, as well as the attached homework:
Math: We have begun our exploration of place value. The students spent some time last week using place value mats with spots for ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. They also used manipulatives to show a variety of numbers in different ways. We will continue with this type of activity this week.
Language: We are continuing with procedural writing. This week we will be looking at some examples such as: 'How to bath your cat'; 'How to make a pillow fort'; and 'How to make banana bread'.
Science: We continue our look at soil and rocks/minerals.
Visual arts: The students are working on good copies of their perspective work. They will then use this experience to create some Halloween pictures.
