Week of 5-10

We are going to the Getty Center on Tuesday, May 11th. Parents who are chaperoning need to meet us at 8:20 in the courtyard.

Here's what we are learning:
Religion--May is the month we celebrate Mary. We will have our school May crowning after the 8:30 Mass on Wednesday. Each student is asked to bring a flower to put at the alter for Mary on May 12th. We will then have an altar set up outside the school office. Grades 3,4,5 are asked to bring flowers for the school altar during the week of May 17--21.

Language Arts--this is a review week because we are at the end of our unit. We will be taking the skills test. There's no new spelling words or story.

Math--We are finishing up our chapter on long division. There will be a chapter test on Wednesday, and then we will begin chapter 11 on fractions.

Social Studies--Community leadership, govenment, and rules.
