In Grammar we continue our study of adjectives and adverbs.
In Math we continue work on division problems, and will also be working on degrees in a circle and how that relates to time.
There will be a test in Science, chapter 5, on Thursday. All four packets need to be done by Wednesday, and the Rock Cycle poster will be due on Thursday. Spelling City is a great place to review the vocabulary for this test on Rocks and Minerals.
In Religion class we are discussing the call to share the gifts we have received from God with others.
We have finished reading and discussing our books in Reading groups and are working on book jackets, as well as reading articles in Scholastic News. It is my hope that everyone has purchased the new books, which we will be reading for the rest of the trimester.
Thanking you for your continued support,
Mrs. Dwyer
