This week in Learning:

FLA: we will begin learning how to write an opinion letter as this is part of the PAT writing portion of the exam in May. It is called functional writing and it is useful in everyday situations. FLA reading comprehensions go home today. Please sign and return. More reading in French is needed. 

ELA: this week we perform our poems/songs, beginning tomorrow. All student should be ready to present. There is a poetry quiz on Friday (sorry Harry...it's your birthday, but I had to choose a date!) 

MATH: we continue with fractions and how to compare them if they are mixed or have different denominators. Students should be reviewing every night and know the fraction vocab by now.

SCIENCE: we continue with experiments on pressure. All experiment reports should be complete as I will be picking them up at the end of this month. Students are responsible for getting caught up, should they be away. 

SOCIAL: we will present our personal Wampums this week and then look at how the Iroquois made decisions. Current event questions will be placed on the BLOG and if students wish to go above and beyond to improve their learning on politics, they can answer the question of the week by email. This month we will begin Local government and the question will reflect that. 

RELIGION: We are finishing our study of the Beatitudes with a small classroom liturgy. We also spoke of ways to be the "Light of the World" and more details will be forthcoming.

HEALTH: emotions...Mr. Potato Head is due at the end of this week.

CTF: we only have 4 classes to work on projects until we begin selling. 2 companies had nothing to do today. 

ART: next sketchbook assignment is texture.

Important this week:
We will most likely have indoor recess all week, but be prepared in case we go outside as well.
Thursday we go to MdH. I have not heard from anyone who can come with us. I sent an email last week and am looking for 2 volunteers from 9-1h30. Please email me asap.
