This Wed. I will not be meeting with the coach so no conference time needed this week.  Wed. is also National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day.  On Thurs. we will celebrate Mass in church at 9:00 for Feast of the Annunciation.  

           Test schedule this week is as follows: Tues.- Religion Quiz; Wed.-Grammar Quiz; Thurs.-Vocabulary Quiz on Goods and Services; Fri.- Selection Test on Goods and Services and weekly Spelling Quiz.  Please see daily homework on google classroom for details.

As directed by Mr. Woods,  NO homework wil be assigned for the Easter break so that we can all enjoy a well deserved break. Report cards will be distributed in April.

             A reminder that student recess time now is only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:45 to 10:30.

 Dear Parents,

           There will be only three days of school this week since we are off Feb. 11, 12 , and 15.  On Wed.  we will be having Mass to celebrate Ash Wednesday, which is the beginning of the Lenten Church season.  This year ashes will be distibuted in a different way to avoid direct contact. Students will be begin learning about our traditional Lenten practices this week and continue until Easter.  

             In ELA the Unit 2 Reading test will be given and then I will be presenting the new trade book for Unit 3 Module A.  In Math we are starting Module 4 on place value which leads into learning about counting coins.  In Social Studies we will review what we studied about Washington, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr.  and the quiz will be given on Tuesday. 

           Are you wondering about our National What??? Day for this week.  There are two: National Pizza Day on Tuesday and National Umbrella Day on Wenesday!

           During their days off, I suggest that students work on Edgenuity for about 20 minutes periods just to keep their minds sharp. As always, homework assignments will be posted on google classroom daily. Enjoy the time off  and keep warm in the cold spell ahead.
