Social Studies 

Students will have a quiz on the 7 continents and 5 oceans this Tuesday, August 29th. The fifth ocean is a bonus question. Students will be expected to correctly locate and spell each continent and ocean. A word bank with the words will be provided. 

We will begin to study the Regions of the United States. 

Math 

Beginning this week, students will be given timed multiplication tests until they show mastery of all the facts. This week the focus is just the x 3s. The 3 x 0 through 3 x 12.

The students will read and write multi-digit number using the standard form, expanded form, and word form. They will also be able to compare numbers using greater than, less than, or equal to symbols. 

Science

We will finish our Mystery Powder Unit. The students will form hypothesis, test, and make conclusions. 

Religion 

We are focusing on contemplative prayer and God's amazing creation.
