Dear Parents,
There will be NO weekly Religion quiz this Monday however there will be an ELA quiz this Friday. This Thursday report cards will be distributed to most students and as usual for parents who need to see teachers, parent- teacher conferences will be held that same day from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. Honors will be distributed after the Thanksgiving Mass next week.
On Tuesday I will be sending home one sheet that THIRD GRADERS will be using to record ELA terms, definition , and example. We will be using one for each unit and therefore I am asking each student to make six copies of this sheet and bring them in no later than Thursday.
Each class will be taking a Spelling QUIZ this THURSDAY (or Friday) which will count for a Penmanship grade as well. For third and fourth grades this will be in script! Please see below:
