This Wednesday we were planning to go on a field trip with our kindergarten Mass buddies, but there is no bus available, so we are trying to reschedule. We will keep you updated.
Tomorrow five of our students will compete against the fifth grade finalists in our annual Speech Contest. Congratulations to Nico, Dominic, Jennessy, Chloe and Isaiah!
Progress reports come home tomorrow; please sign and return by Friday. Work packets go home tomorrow as well.
The annual school jogathon is coming up on May 13th. This is one of our biggest fundraisers, and Mrs. Benner has promised extra free dress days, depending upon how much money is raised. You can be part of this effort through your donations, as well as by purchasing Shout-Outs and Spirit Signs to show your SHS spirit.
What we are working on this week:
Religion: We conclude our discussion of the 7th and 10th commandments by focusing on the issue of justice and our duty to care for and share the world’s resources.
Math: We are learning about probabilities this week. Students will complete ixL Math skills F1, F7 and F8, which are mixed operations problems.
Spelling: We will be studying the words in Unit 31; the test will be on Friday.
Grammar: We continue our work with adjectives.
Writing Workshop: We continue planning our opinion essays. Most of us have selected a topic.
Vocabulary: We continue our study of Unit 15 words; the test will be on Friday.
Reading: The reading log will be due next Monday (click here for a copy) reading log fiction nonfiction and Fluency Homework #31 will be due next Monday as well.
Social Studies: We are reading issues 18 and 19, learning more about California during the Gold Rush, and about our acceptance as a free state in 1850.
