The School Fair is this Wednesday evening from 6-7:30. Students should bring their mission projects (models or scrapbooks) to the parish center when they arrive in the morning. I will be in the hall waiting for them. They will take the projects home on Thursday.

THE WEEK AHEAD:

Religion: We begin the week with our Virtus lessons, and then continue with Unit 4, focusing on the next 7 commandments.

Math: We have our Unit 5 test tomorrow and then move on to Unit 6. Students are to do ixL D 6 and 16 this week. This will be due next Monday.

Reading Workshop: Students have been put into research teams in order to learn about various forms of Extreme Weather. They have selected a book to start reading about their topic (Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Tsunamis or Weather). Tomorrow I will send home homework assignment #8, which discusses collecting additional information about their topic. Students are to complete a reading log and have it signed for all reading done at home (20-30 minutes per day). Click here for the reading log, which will be due next Monday. ReadingLog
