REMINDERS
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THESE IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
- Spring Fling basket donations are due by Friday April 5, 2013. Students who bring in 5 or more items are entitled to a Homework Pass from Miss Lauterwasser.
- Please remember that students are to be drinking ONLY WATER during class. During snack or lunch students are allowed to drink whatever you pack for them. Classtime is a different story. Students are to only be drinking water from a water bottle that can be closed. NO juice, orange juice, iced tea, green tea etc. I have reminded the students about this multiple times. Water spills are easily cleaned up. Juice, tea, etc can stain and can be very sticky and ruin textbooks if spilled. Please be sure that your child is following the rules, or they will no longer be able to bring in something to drink, except for lunch and snack. Please contact me with any questions.
- Please be sure your child is studying their times tables every night at home. It is very important that they know their multiplication facts. Please practice with them every night. Below are a few links for you to try out. These links are full of fun games, activities, and concepts to help you help your child practice. Study Island is also a great tool for various skills. I have set up a "test" for multiplication on Study Island. Feel free to use that instead of flash cards one night.

As some of you may or may not know,the weekend of Easter is a very exciting time for me. During the Easter Vigil, I will be joining the church. My family is Baptist, but I went to Catholic school. I have found that throughout the years my beliefs align more and more with the Catholic faith. Working at this school came as a blessing to me. Seeing how close and faithful the community of this school is under the leadership of Mrs. Wisk lead me to come to the decision to join the Catholic church. On March 30th, at 7:00PM, at St. Catherine's Church in Middletown, NJ, I will be recieving the sacraments of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation. I invite all the school community to join me during this very important and exciting time in my life.

Merry Christmas from the Third Grade!
Message from the Class Parents
Hello Third Grade Families,
We just wanted to give you a little Christmas update (sorry so late). We will be purchasing a $50 gift card for Miss. L using the class dues you sent in in the beginning of the year. We will send the gifts in on Friday, Dec. 21. If you choose to send in a gift of your own for the teachers, that's fine. If not, that's fine too. All of the students' names will be on both of the cards.
Also on Friday, Dec. 21, we will be helping with the class Christmas party. Again, with the money from the class dues, we will have some special treats for the children and will be making a stocking with them. If you choose to, you can send Christmas cards or small gifts/tokens for each child in the class. We will provide bags to make it easier for the children to bring their "treasures" home in. We will be providing a snack (bagels and juice) but feel free to send in a snack for your child if you would like. Volunteers welcome just send LoriAnn an email to let her know. There will be a mass following the Christmas party.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We are always here for you!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Your class captains,
LoriAnn Nolan & Karen Leonard-Gilligan

Announcements:
- Please note that all report cards were handed out last Friday. Envelopes must be signed and returned ASAP!
- Wednesday folders are to be signed and returned on Thursday. Papers with stickers MUST be returned as they are being added to a portfolio!
- Please be sure to practice addition and subtraction facts with your child. I went out and purchased flash cards for each child to help with this task. A lot of their basic addition and subtraction skills are lacking, and this will help!
- In this week's Wednesday folder you will notice a Simple Solutions Quiz. Starting this Trimester, once a week, students will be quizzed on their Simple Solutions. Please be sure your child is completing their Simple Solutions homework to the best of their abilities! We go over them every morning and there are only a few children asking for help, yet, as you will see on the quizzes, not everyone did so well! Simple Solutions are a way for your child to practice and keep their minds ready for the Terranovas.
- Starting after Christmas - there will be 20 spelling words. The student's "Challenge Words" will be vocabulary related to the weekly reading. We will start with two or three vocabulary words and work up to 5 or 6 vocabulary words. If the students continue to excel, in the future we may add some words. As you noticed on their report cards, the students as whole did extremely well! I am going to start to push them a little more academically beyond their comfort zone! They are all very bright students! This may cause some discomfort at first, but we will adjust and readjust the plan as need.

Hunger Challenge
This is the third annual Mother Teresa Regional School Hunger Challenge. Each year the Monmouth Ocean Food Bank hosts a hunger challenge. MTRS will not be participating in that challenge in order to help our parish food pantries directly but we will challenge ourselves to bring in a weighty amount of food. The challenge ends November 16th. Each class in grades PK thru fifth grade will be separated into a house. Students will be encouraged to bring in canned food items to help create Thanksgiving food baskets and restock the pantry shelves. Students who bring in twenty five items will receive a homework pass. The house with the most weight of food will receive 150 points and the turkey trophy award for the year, second place 75 points and third place 25 points. Box potatoes and stuffing mix will count for two times their weight as they are needed specifically for Thanksgiving. In addition to food items, toiletry items, detergents, and personal hygiene items
are also needed. If the houses combined bring in two tons of food, we will have a special treat for the whole school.
Seton House- PK3, Second, and Fifth Grade
Aquinas House- Kindergarten and Fourth Grade
Jude House- PK4, First, and Third Grade
So far we have a few items, but the more items we bring in the more it helps those in need!
Parent- Teacher Conferences are this Wednesday and Friday. If you would like to meet with me, please sign up with Mrs Stinson in the office.
Thank you! Have a blessed week!!

Please Read! Various announcements!
Due to the combination of two short weeks In a row, our spelling/reading has fallen out of sync. Spelling words are usually related to our reading selection for the week as well as part of a grammar lesson. To avoid any confusion, there is no official spelling words/test/ or packet due this week. Instead I have offered a challenge to the students. In their assignment pads, they have a list of 15 words. These words are a bit difficult for their grade level. The students have been challenged to learn these words. On Friday I will give a spelling "test". for every word they get correct, they will receive 1 point. Words spelled incorrectly will not count against them. They can earn up to 15 extra points.
Please be advised, since there is no spelling packet due there may be days where an extra simple solutions is assigned. The homework assigned should never take more than 1 hour. If your child is working on homework for more than one hour a day, please contact me and we can work something out.
There will be a math quiz on Tuesday. Later tonight I will post a review for the students to work on. It is not required, but it could be helpful! The entire class struggled a bit with rounding. We worked quite a bit the last few days on rounding concepts. Working with your children this weekend on rounding may help them retain what we learned this week, which will be beneficial for the quiz.
As you all know, I am involved with my local volunteer Fire Dept and First Aid squad. I know a lot of the students have an interest in what I do there. This weekend the department is putting on their annual Fire Expo. I have invited all of the students to come and watch! It is on Sunday Oct 7th from 11am-3pm. There will be Different demonstrations and food and music! It really is a great event (designed for families). It will be held in the white street parking lots in Red Bank. I really hope you all can come and see what we can do! I would love for you all to see the "other" part of my life! If you cannot make it, I understand, it's just an invitation!
Thank you!!

9/21/12
There is no homework for tonight. However, during Social Studies today, we discussed communities and what makes communities different. We also discussed how geography may have had a role in the naming of our communities. A few students were unsure of why their home communities were named what they are. I encouraged the students to ask their parents to help them quickly research their town's name and where it came from. This is not an assignment, but rather something fun for the children to look into. It will help them connect the things that we are learning in class to real world. If you have some spare time this weekend, please sit down with your children and research this for a few minutes. I look forward to hearing all about our communities on Monday!
**Reminder RELIGION TEST ON TUESDAY**
In my previous post I discussed writing assignments and the grading rubric. We went over the rubric today in class. The students are aware of the expectations for their writing. The rubric can be found by clicking here. For those of you who had requested it via email, I sent you a slightly different version. The version attached here and now is the sample I used to explain to the students (explanations are more child friendly). Please be aware, if writing assignments are late (for whatever reason), students automatically start off not being able to score higher than a 3 in all categories. This is equivalent to a 75. Please encourage your child to remain diligent in their efforts in class.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Writing Assignments
As we discussed at Back To School Night, each week in school the students will be responsible for various writing assignments. The goal is to enhance each student's abilities to write clear, concise and well organized pieces of work. We will be working in class on different aspects that go into writing (prewriting, rough draft, editing, etc), as well as ways to improve our writing. Each week the students will be assigned a paper. They will be given class time to work on assignments that lead up to producing a final draft. Final drafts are to be completed by the end of the class period on Fridays. Students who are absent on a Friday will be required to finish the writing assignment as homework on their first day back to school. The grading rubric for every writing assignment will be given to students today and stapled into their writing notebooks. Copies of this will be available for parents. If you would like to see one, please let me know.

Hello Parents,
I am looking forward to meeting all of you tonight at 7 pm! I will be handing out some papers, but decided to attach them here as well. This includes information regarding policies, my welcome letter, and our new Spelling Packets that we will be doing weekly! I can't wait to see you all!!

Friendly Reminders
Hello all,
Just a few friendly reminders.
Please be aware that the children have gym class tomorrow. Students should come to school dressed in their gym uniforms.
Also, parents please be advised that tomorrow is Back to School Night, at 7 pm. I look forward to meeting all of you!
Please also be aware that students were required to complete Summer Choice Activities. As we go into our second week at school, I ask that all of these projects and papers be brought in by this Friday Sept 14. I feel that this is an adequate amount of time for all of the activities to be completed and handed in. The students will be receiving a grade for these projects, so each student is expected to have completed these activities. Most of the students have handed these in, but there are still a few who have not. I encourage you all to finish them up as the children will be presenting them to the class this week.
Thank you,
Miss Lauterwasser
9/7/12 - Please Read
Dear Parents and Students,
It seems that the Simple Solutions homework last night caused some confusion, and I apologize for that. The assignment was for Math Simple Solutions pages 2-4, which was Lessons 1 & 2, and English pages 2-5, which was also Lessons 1&2. Some students came in with both done, and a few came in with only 1 of the Lessons complete. I apologize for the confusion.
I do not plan on giving the students homework on a regular basis on Fridays, however I am asking that for today the students who did not complete both lessons do so for Monday so that everyone is on the same page for Monday.The students are aware of what they need to complete. From now on, I will be assigning the Simple Solutions homework as Lesson #'s rather than pages, which is what I believe everyone is used to. There will also most likely only be one page from each book from now on.
If there are any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Again I apologize for the confusion!

See you soon,
Miss Lauterwasser
