Weekly Notes:

Spelling: Please remember to review the spelling words nightly. Our spelling test is on Fridays, and grades will count for the 3rd and 4th quarters.

Reading: READ, READ, READ  NIGHTLY!  Each weekly theme has a set of high frequency words which need to be mastered by the end of the quarter. Please help your child by practicing those words, as well as reading to them nightly. Each child should be reading for at least 15 minutes each night. 

 Math: Please check your child's folder for math homework. Work will be sent home each time we finish 2 topic pages. We will be working on measurement next.

Religion: We will begin our chapter on Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit.

Science: We will begin our unit on The Earth. Children will be learning about different ways we can recycle and care for our planet.
