Weekly Notices for March 27 to 31

 Dear Parents,

         This is our last week before our two-week Easter break.  Please be sure to check google classroom for the Vocabulary, Reading, and Spelling tests that will be given throughout the week and refer to the study guides for each.  The Unit 4 Summative Reading Test will be given on Tuesday. The test folder with most recent quizzes will be sent home by Friday and I ask that you sign each test and return after the Easter break.

         The students will be attending Stations of the Cross and having the gym period on Thursday.  On Friday they can have their Easter party on Friday afternoon.  I am requesting that each student bring in five dollars to cover the price of two slices of pizza and Dorito chips which I will provide.  Students should bring in their own containers of juice and ONE bag or box of Easter treats to share with the class. 

         We are currently completing Unit 5 Module A in Reading as well as Unit 5 in Math.  The Religion Quiz on the Lenten and Easter seasons  as well as the Math Unit 5 Summative Test will be given after the Easter break. We are still working on learning about the solar system in Science so the test on  this unit will also be given after the break.  In Social Studies students will be reading and responding to questions on different landforms and water bodies.

         During the Easter break it is VERY IMPORTANT that students practice Reading and Math skills on Edgenuity since the MAP TEST (spring session) will be given soon after their return to school. They also need to practice their computer skills.  

  

Weekly Notices for Mar. 20 to 24

 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.  

      We will be having an Easter party on March 31the, the last day before our two week Easter break.  It is essential that students practice Reading and Math on Edgenuity during the break since they will be taking the spring session of the MAP test soon after their return to school. Working on this program will also provide students with an opportunity to practice their computer skills.  

                                                                                                                      Ms. Saville
