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.
