Religion:  

The students did an AMAZING job leading the school at mass on Wednesday. We are VERY proud of their efforts. Next week the students will focus on the Glorious Mysteries. We will use the Bible to look up and read about these mysteries.

Writing: This week worked on our author research project. The students used books and iPads to find information about their author. We will be compiling our findings into a report next week.

Math:   Unit 9 will wrap up next week with a test on Thursday, May 9. We only have THREE timed tests left until the end of the school year. Please make sure your child is practicing every evening. We want the students to master these basic facts.
