Religion: Next week we will be discussing the different parts of the mass. The students should know the which category in which the main parts of the mass take place. We will also focus on the Holy Trinity. They will be making an analogy to help understand how three parts can act as one.
Writing: This week we focused on quotation marks with our Mentor Sentence. We started a unit over main idea, and we practiced writing pieces with a topic sentence and supporting sentences. Next week we will use this knowledge to guide us in an author study.
