Wednesday is the School Fair, from 6 to 7:30, and for that reason students may have a night off from Reading Logs and Fluency homework on Wednesday. Wednesday is also the beginning of our month-long celebration of Read Across America.

What we are working on this week

Religion: We will begin our discussion of the 5th commandment.

Math: We begin Unit 6, which focuses upon division. This week students need to complete ixL Math skills B 8, C 6 and E 12.

Spelling: We will be studying the words in Unit 22. There will be a test on Friday.

Grammar: We continue Unit 3, which focuses upon types of verbs.

Vocabulary: We begin our study of Unit 12 words. The test will be next week.

Reading: The reading log will be due on Monday (click here for a copy) Reading log summary and Fluency Homework #23 will be due next Monday as well .

Social Studies: We begin reading Studies Weekly #14. We are learning about the influx of people moving to California for new opportunities: explorers, trappers, farmers, and miners, and we are also learning how the Mexican government reacted to all of these new settlers in Alta California.

Science: We conclude our study of Chapter 5; there will be a test on this chapter on Thursday. We will prepare a study sheet in class.

I look forward to seeing all of the mission projects on Wednesday. See you at the School Fair!

Thanking you for your continuing support,

Mrs. Mary Dwyer
