This week we have a free dress (for $1) on Wednesday and a full day on Friday. If you haven’t sent in your burned matches, please do so as soon as possible. Next Wednesday is the School Fair; all mission models and scrapbooks should be brought to the parish center when you arrive in the morning.

Writer’s Workshop: This week we are editing our mission reports and writing the final drafts, which will be brought home for typing. Please do not make changes to the content of the report as you type it; it is your child’s writing, and they have done a marvelous job! Your word processing program may fix errors in spelling and grammar automatically, and that is okay.
Social Studies: We finish our work on Studies Weekly 13 and will have a quiz on Thursday. We are composing a study sheet of the main concepts, vocabulary, and people, which will help us to prepare for the quiz.
Science: We continue our study of Chapter 5, learning about the three main groups of rocks and ways to identify them.
Thanking you for your continuing support,
Mrs. Mary Dwyer
