January 13-17, 2014

The first week back went very well, we were able to get a lot of things done and I think we set a really strong precedent for the rest of the quarter.  This week we will have a couple of tests upcoming, including a Religion test and a Vocabulary/Spelling Test, both on Thursday.  This Friday we will be gone for most of the day while at our Vocations Day Field Trip, forms need to be turned in this Tuesday (25 pts). 

Reminder that the Talent Show is coming up the last week of January, encourage your child to show off his/her talents!

Math:  Finish test from Friday on division, this week we will be introducing decimals.

Science:  Senses and how our brain receives messages.  Review will be due at the end of the week.

Social Studies:  We are starting a new Chapter this week, Chapter 3, which will continue to explore the importance of the early colonies.

Religion:  Vocations of Holy Orders, Ch. 25.  Test on Thursday, Review due Wednesday

Literature:  Students have really enjoyed The City of Ember so far and I hope that they will continue to enjoy it as we delve deeper into it.  Students also have a test this Thursday on the Spelling/Vocabulary words from Unit 9.  RAH folders are going to be due this Thursday (100 minutes a week).
