Week of October 14th

Welcome back 4th Grade Families!

But wow what a busy day we had today!

The students will be having a quiz in gym next week- Monday.  Mr. Baldwin has an online Quizlet that the students can use to study.  Here is the link:  Basketball Quizlet

Also the students can bring in a dollar donation for the Catholic Education Fund for an out of uniform day this Friday!  Maybe they can do an extra chore around the house to earn it?

And finally it is with great sadness that we tell you that JFK, one of our Hermit Crabs, has passed away.  We are not sure of the cause but he was definitely a great member of our class.  Father John came in this morning to say a few words about creation and losing a pet.  Abraham Lincoln, the other one, seems to be doing well even though he lost his friend.  RIP JFK!

This week in...

Reading:  We are going to finish our Chicago Fire Extended Responses and read Cyber Pigs.  We do not want to rush anything so we will have our Cyber Pigs test next Monday.  Vocab will still be due on Thursday, like normal.

Religion:  Chapter 3.  Moses and The Ten Commandments

Spelling:  Lesson 7.  The workbook, menu, and test will all be due on Friday this week

4th LA: Nouns

5th LA: Nouns and a Quiz on Thursday.  Also the 5th graders are studying Idioms

4th SS:  We will be starting our train tour of the Northeast Region!  More information will be sent home about this unit in Friday Folders.

5th SS:  Chapter 4 Lesson 1 this week.  We will be learning about how the Europeans came over to North and South America and how our powerful empires fall to the Europeans.

Thank you!
