Social Studies

WE HAD TO PUSH BACK OUR SOUTHEAST REGION QUIZ DATE TO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH!!!! 

Then, we will move to our final region the Northeast.This is one of the hardest regions for the students, so we will be planning lots of review games in class to help them. The Northeast Region states and capitals quiz will be on Thursday, October 3rd. 



Math

We are subtracting very large numbers and using a lot of regrouping. We are also creating tape diagrams to model our word problems. 
Science

We are making a life size model of The Digestive System as a culminating activity for this module. 
There will NOT be a vocabulary quiz this Friday. 

Religion 

The Act of Hope test is tomorrow, Tuesday. 

This week we are talking about the virtue of prudence. Being prudent helps us to form a good conscience. We will also practice doing an Examination of Conscience.
