This week is Catholic Schools Week & the week is filled with fun festivities everyday to celebrate. Today was an Open House & parents were invited to come visit the classroom & work on a special project with their child. Gracie wrote us a letter inviting us to come to her classroom :) She was very proud of her letter & extremely pleased that I was going to be able to attend. Her class project was to interview their parents about what they remember about being in 1st Grade. Oh what fun we had talking about my days in Catholic School. She also gave me a tour of her classroom & pointed out that her name was on the "Tooth Fairy List" for loosing a tooth in January. And the letter that we wrote her at the Open House last fall was still hanging up :) She drew a picture & quote of what she was looking forward to in first grade & we left her a special message. Josie was very excited to see me too & her class is making a blanket with family photos. So we designed our family patch in purple with lots of jewels & buttons. We can't wait to see the final project. And Josie was selected to be Father Manny's helper on the alter at the All School Mass on Monday so I enjoyed all the stories about how brave she was on the alter (and cute too!!!). She's still talking about it :)
