January 27th - 31st

Happy Catholic Schools Week!! Our theme this year is "Learn, Serve, Lead, Succeed."  The schedule will be a little off this week, as we have many fun activities planned.  Please check the list of activities in your family envelopes.  Buddy day is on Tuesday, we are buddies with 7th grade, Mrs. Tyler's class.  Please remember to bring a gift ($2 max).  IMPORTANT: If you have not turned in a permission slip for mass on Friday, January 31st, please please turn it in tomorrow!!!  I need to organize drivers/car arrangements back to campus.  No hot lunch on Tues and Wed, students must bring their own lunch. 

Homework help on Tues & Wed.

Religion- Holy spirit worksheet and begin Chapter 11 "Commandments and the Law of Love".  The Law of Love worksheet.  Students will also be correcting their Chapter 10 Reviews if they received lower than 15 out of 20 pts.  These are open book reviews of the chapter.  There is no reason they should be getting such low scores, other than they are rushing through and not re reading the chapter.

Language Arts- Chapters 8 and 9 "The Indian in the Cupboard."  Review questions and vocabulary words.  Poetry lessons on Haiku and Acrostic poetry for the upcoming writing festival.  May just get to one lesson with the crazy schedules this week.  Will continue next week if we need to.  Spelling Unit 15 and finish grammar lessons on possessive nouns.
