2021

 Hello to Our 2021 Blog!

We will resume using our weekly blog post as our weekly communication out to you all. The purpose of the blog is to address important announcements as well as an overview of concepts being covered in each subject area. 

Looking Ahead...

• Wednesday, January 13th - Grades 3rd to 5th Mass in the Church

We will not have our weekly regular spelling homework and words as our spelling will focus on the 7 continents, 5 oceans, and then the 50 states. This will be the process for the next 6 weeks of school. 

Grammar - We will have a quiz on Adjectives on Thursday. 

Reading - We are going to be moving onto Lesson 13 in our reading textbook and looking at the skill of Sequence of Events. We will have a test on this skill on Friday, January 15th. We have been talking about this skill for over a month now. 

Writing - We will begin to review state report research expectations and find out what state each student will be researching.
