Week of December 10th

Dear Parents,

Another busy week at SJS coming up!  On Tuesday the students will be going to Confession, on Wednesday we will have all school mass to celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe, and of course all of our learning that takes place each week.

Also if each student could spare one box of tissues that would be great!  We are good on wipes and making sure that we are keeping our areas clean but our tissues run low especially during this cold and flu season.  Thanks in advance!

This week in:

Reading: we will finish up our Seymour Simon research projects and begin reading our story Firestorm.  Our skill is drawing conclusions.  The reading test for this story will not be until next Wednesday!

Science: the students will have a science test sometime this week, possibly Wednesday, more info to follow!

Math:  multiplication practice- review your facts!

Language Arts: the students reviewed alphabetizing and dictionary skills.  Do you need them to organize anything or look up a word for you?  They should be experts!

Social Studies:  Chapter 5 begins.  We will learn all about the people of the Northeast region.

Spelling: Lesson 16

Religion:  We will review our facts about Our Lady of Guadalupe and Confession.

Character:  We read a story entitled My Secret Bully by Trudy Ludwig.  Such a  great story- ask your 4th grader about it! We are going to continue this conversation and also talk about second chances with friends.  Our character posters are ready to be laminated and will be up next week!

Thanks again for all of your support.  If any questions arise please feel free to contact us!
