Religion: The Stations of the Cross were led by the 6th graders today. Next week we will focus on Easter and do an activity with Bible passages. On Friday the students will be participating in a prayer service in each of our rooms. They will need to bring a rock to school for that by Friday.
Writing: This week we finished our unit on persuasive writing. We also started to work on writing nonfiction paragraphs. The students should understand that each paragraph contains a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
Math: Unit 9 continues next week. The focus remains on multiplication and division. Please continue to practice for timed tests for multiplication and division because the students are encouraged to get the basic facts memorized. They will be learning different strategies for multi-digit multiplication problems.
