February 22-26

This is a very short week. There will be no school on Thursday and Friday this week. School will resume on Monday the 29th.

There is no spelling or vocab this week. We are working on writing autobiographies, persuasive essays and creative writing.

Continue to work on multiplication math facts. Many students are struggling with division because the children do not know there times tables. We will finish the chapter 11 in math but I will be sending home review sheets and we will review in class. Our test will not be until the second week in March.

Religion- we are continuing to discuss lent and what we should do as Catholics to help people in need.

Social studies - we are continuing through chapter 7

Science - we will begin unit c chapter 3 next week.

Have a wonderful long weekend.
Thank you

Mistake... We wrote page 123 for math it is suppose to be page 125 only. Thank you

We are on our way through the 3rd quarter. Progress reports were sent home last week. Remember this is progress up to this point in the quarter. These are not final grades. I will accept the work if missing. Many students are forgetting to put their names on their papers. This makes it very difficult during grading time. If your child does not put their name I will be marking the assignment missing. It is very difficult to find out who it belongs to and students arguing about who the assignment belongs to. Sorry for the inconvenience but by this time in the school year the students need to be held accountable.

We will have a science test Thursday unit c chapter 2 the study guide was sent out last week.
Math- we have began chapter 11. Some students were discouraged but I told them this was the first day and we will continue to review daily
