May 16, 2022Dear 1C Families,
Baby chicks make everything better! This is always one of my favorite programs that we participate in at SMM. Watching the eggs hatch into baby chicks is truly watching one of God's many miracles. The students were attached to the chicks instantly! They were able to hold them and name them. A few notable names include George Washington (the first chick to hatch!), Donny (named after my oldest son because the chick was the tallest of the dozen), Scar, Cotton, Candy, Honey, Chip, and Chick Norris. The students came up with some great names!
In addition to the chicks, the other show stopper this week was the 8th Grade Play! The 8th graders performed "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" for the entire school on Thursday. The first graders enjoyed seeing their buddies take the stage and sing and dance!
We celebrate the Blessed Mother in May. The May Procession is May 16th. Feel free to send in some fresh flowers throughout the month of May so that we can decorate the Blessed Mother in our classroom. These can be simple flowers from your garden that I put in a small vase.
Looking ahead, first grade will be having their annual Spring Fling on Friday, 5/20. Our homeroom moms are helping us plan some fun special activities for our first graders!
On May 31st, we will celebrate the end of the year with our 8th grade buddies at the Buddy Picnic. This will take place at SMM. Students can bring in outdoor toys, towels, water bottles, etc. We will have lunch outside and water ice will be provided.
Check out my newsletter for more information about the skills we will be learning next week and important upcoming dates. May will be packed with fun activities - May Procession, Spring Fling, Buddy Picnic and much more!
Enjoy the weekend! Here is the slideshow from this week!
Love,
Mrs. Brunner & Mrs. Aitken

Dear Parents,
The Diocese of Wilmington has requested that we assemble Blizzard Packets for the students as we approach the winter months. Dr. Lou DiAngelo, our superintendent, feels it is very important for students to complete school assignments if or when we experience snow days. To eliminate calendar changes and make up days, each student will be required to complete five days of assignments for each subject area.
Blizzard Packets are designed so that each child will complete one day of assignments when a snow day interrupts our schedule. Students will be held accountable for these packets and assignments will be collected and graded. Blizzard Packet assignments are due back to school one week after the snow day. For example, if school is closed due to snow on a Wednesday, the Day 1 assignments will be due back to school the following Wednesday. If school is cancelled again on Thursday, Day 2 assignments will be due back to school the following Thursday and so on.
This year, in an effort to reduce printing costs, the Blizzard Packets will be available electronically on the class webpage. It is recommended that you print out the assignments in advance of inclement weather. If you are unable to print the Blizzard Packet on your own please let me know.
Thank you as always for your support.
Andrea Rossi, Kristin Winchell, & Emily Brunner

1. Please remember to check the green folder and Homework Organizer daily. Review, check, correct, and initial your child's homework each evening.
2. Please check Friday Folders each week and sign and return any stamped tests in the same folder on Monday.
3. Please send a note if there will be a change in the established dismissal schedule. You can also call the school office. Do not rely on emails as I may not have a chance to check this throughout the day.
4. Please label all of the children's items with their full names and 1C including clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc.
