January 24 - January 28

I used to like snow...

Tests!  --Our Spelling test will be on Tuesday because we hadn't finished all work that goes along with it last week.
           --the start of the American Revolution was put off because of the snow and delays, so hopefully we'll have that test Wednesday.
           --my main focus will be reviewing for the Science mid-year test.  We began the worksheets in your child's binder and will continue to do so.   It would be ideal to have this test Thursday, but in a worst-case scenario it will be Friday.  We will be doing hands-on activities to review too.
            --the test on "the Seven Children" will be Monday.

We didn't start the fourth commandment last week, so we will focus on it this week.  We will have a short quiz on it when we finish.  We will do the same with the 5th and 6th commandment also, and will have test on all three afterward.

We will end the chapter in Math with more story problems and will have a chapter test by Wednesday.

I know it sounds like a lot of testing, but there's so much to catch up on!

 Next Monday is the first day of Catholic Schools Week,- Career Day, parents are invited to come in and share what they do for a living.  Let me know if you'd like to come in.  On Tuesday, Fairy Tale Day, if you would like to dress up and come in to read a fairy tale you are more than welcome!
