Academics:

*Religion - Sain projects continued, they are due Wednesday. May 6th. Please read through the blog that I posted just before this one about the saint projects. Our server is down at school so the students were not able to print today. Many did not have enough information to print.

*Fractions continue. Today the students were working on Fraction Story problems, you may see some of these coming home. Please help your student if they are having difficulty.

*Reading - ITBS practice. ITBS test will begin on Monday, May 11th. After the test the students will end the year with an independent read. They will choose a book at their level to read independently in class. I will give each student a reading guide to follow as they read. They can answer these questions in their reading journals.

*LA- persuasive writings. I ask that you look over your student's persuasive writing and help them edit their work. It needs to be one written page.

*We will begin a new unit in Science this week.

*Social Studies - Explorers, due Tuesday. I sense that students are beginning to feel the itch of summer and are not putting their best foot forward in completing some of these projects. If we can not get the computers to print in the lab we will need to postpone the Explorer presentations to a later date. We will begin our journey about Russia for Junior Olympics.
