This Wednesday, February 4th we will be taking our field trip to Olivas Adobe. Students should wear pants that they can roll up or shorts, along with uniform shirts and school jackets if needed. No court pants or shorts, and no skirts. Each child should bring an old towel for drying his/her legs and feet. We will be eating there, so sack lunches, please.
This month in Religion class I will be presenting the Virtus Touching Safety program. In your January newsletter packet was a form to be signed which gives your child permission to participate. If you have not sent it in yet and would like your child to participate, please sign it and return it to the office.
This week we will be completing Reading logs, due next Monday. You may click here to access the form. Weekly_Reading_Log We will also be doing 4 ixL decimal math skills: U 2, 5, 6 and 7.
We will begin our study of Unit 10 Vocabulary words, with a test next week.
We have started Unit 16 in Spelling; bookwork needs to be done by Friday, and the test will be on Friday.
In Grammar we continue our study of verbs.
We continue to hone our writing skills as we work on our essay/opinion pieces.
In Math we continue our study of decimals.
Our main focus in Religion class this week will be concepts from Unit 3; the test will be on Thursday, and it will cover pages 61-88.
In Social Studies we will prepare for our field trip, work on mission notes (I hope students are also doing some of this at home), and continue reading chapter 4: Alta California after Mexican independence from Spain.
We will move on to chapter 4 in Science. We are hoping to grow lots of mold on the samples we set up last week in the lab!
In Reading groups we move on to our literature selections for this unit.
Thanking you for your continued support,
Mrs. Dwyer
