 Dear Parents,

         This is a reminder that this Monday we are celebrating Mass at 10:00 and Honor certificates will be distributed after the Mass. Please remember also to sign your child's progress report and put it in your child's folder so I can check signatures.  There will be a Reading Test on Tues., Vocabulary and Writing Tests on Wed., and another Reading Test on Thurs.  School is closed on Friday.

          We are completing the tests for Unit 4 in Reading as we are working on the stories for Unit 5.  In Math students will be working geometrical figures and creating composite shapes.  In Science students will be learning about the solar system and in Social Studies they will be studying different landforms. In Religion students will be completing the chapters on Lent and Easter and will be tested on these after the Easter break.

Working on this program will also provide students with an opportunity to practice their computer skills.
