May 18-22
We only have two weeks of school left. With that being said we will having a busy next two weeks. We will be finishing up a lot of the academics this week so please be sure to check your child's planner regularly for any updates or changes.
We will be doing some writing this week that will include items from home. Please send in a piece a fruit tomorrow for our writing.
Subjects
Spelling - we will be having a spelling test Friday before the Carnival but no vocabulary words
Reading - we are reading the next book to My Fathers Dragon which is called Elmer and the Dragon. I will be reading to the class and discussing the book. There will be no tests just classwork.
Math - We will be continuing ch. 9 and will be having a small review quiz Thursday. The students may use their books. We have only done lessons 1-7.
Social Studies - Chapter 11 workers and consumers
Science - Test will be on Thursday. Students have the study guide and should be reviewing nightly along with the studying we do in class
Religion - Continuing Chapter 15
NO HOT LUNCH TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY.
Thursday we will be having a board game afternoon from 1:30-2:15. If your child has a favorite family board game that is appropriate for children to play please have them bring it in to share with the class. They may also bring in a beach towel. We will transform our class into a board game oasis. :)
Friday will be the 8th grade carnival. It does cost money to participate in the events. The tickets are 50 cents each. In order to purchase food or play games your child will need to buy tickets. If you do not choose to purchase tickets your child will not be able to buy food or play games. I would recommend $5 which should be a sufficient amount of money to play games and purchase food. The carnival will be held from 10-12 and dismissal is at 12:30. With the carnival in mind I have been reminding students that the carnival is a privilege. If they have missing work or unacceptable behavior during the week they may have to miss part of the carnival. Your child may have free dress on Friday.
Monday, May 25th - No school
Thursday, May 28th - Field Day, Free Dress
Friday, May 29th - Last Day of school, School Mass at 8:30 dismissal at 10 am.

May 4-8
Thank you to all of the parents who drove and helped out driving our Farm Safety Day field trip. The students seemed to have a great day and were well behaved.
We are well on our way through the end of the school year with only 4 weeks of school left. I am doing my best to explain to students that they really need to be sure and turn all assignments in when they are due. There is a lot of missing work that is not accounted for so please be sure to check Option C to see how your child is doing. I do not want anyone to have surprises when the final report card goes out.
Reading and Spelling - We are finishing up My Fathers Dragon. The students have a green folder with many pages that we have been working on in class. The book with all the answers will be due Friday, May 8th. This will be a significant amount of your child's Reading Grade. Please be sure to remind them that this needs to be complete.
Math - We are finishing up Chapter 7. We did not do all of the lessons in the chapter because I wanted to move forward next week and work on more curriculum in our book. The test will be on Monday, May 11th. The lesson's that will be on the test will be Lesson 2, 3,4, 8, 15 and 16.
SS - We have shared many of our Landmarks and everyone needs to be CONGRATULATED!! I was very excited to see all of the projects and to see how enthused the students were to share their projects. Some of the projects were displayed in the Library for the school and Grandparents to share last Friday. Many compliments were given on all the projects. We will send home the projects Friday after school. This week we are beginning Chapter 10.
Science - Test extension chapter on animals tomorrow. We will begin Fossils, Minerals and Rocks on Wednesday.
Religion - We will be discussing the importance of Family and our Faith
Thank you again for all of the constant support. Please instill in your child that they need to give 100 percent till the end of the school year. I know it can be difficult so do your best in helping your child succeed.
Thank you and God Bless
