Misc News and Notes:

• Thank you to Hannah's mom who joined our class as a mystery reader!
• Supplies:  We have a serious shortage of supplies in room 111.  If you could please check with your child and see what he or she is missing, I would greatly appreciate it.  Gracias!
• Our mass is THIS Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.  We will be honoring veterans at mass. If your child has a reading, reflection, or petition, please  have them practice with you at home.
• Cans! Cans! Cans!  My reading suggests that more families are experiencing hunger for the first time than ever before due to the poor economy.  Let's make a difference!  We're each called by Jesus to feed the poor.

Academic News and Notes:

Math:  We have been working on using multiplication in equations, expressions, and in patterns.  Our Math test on Chapter 9 will be on Tuesday.  Remember your family packs are due then.

Reading:  We've started learning about different folk tales.  This week we will read a folk tale called, "In the Days of King Adobe."  The open book test will be on Friday.

Language:  We're learning about compound sentences!  Watch those run-ons.  Students will lose 1/4 point for each missing capitalization and ending punctuation on work from this point forward. 

Writing:  We will be writing responses to literature this week -- using fables.  These will be due Wednesday.  It is not necessary that they be typed.

Science:  We've learned a lot about rocks, minerals, erosion, and weathering during the past few weeks.  We will have an open-note test on Science, Chapter 9 on Wednesday.  Students will have notes on lessons 1 and 2 on Monday -- so they can begin to study early.

Social Studies:  Chapter 3 flip book projects are due Tuesday.  We will begin to learn how Indiana became a state with Chapter 4.

Spelling:  Sorry the list did not make it home on Friday.  A new list will come home on Monday and we'll test on Friday.
