Week of 4/25

We loved practicing non-standard measurement with unifix cubes!

Dear Parents,

I can't believe this is our last week in April! May is probably the busiest month of school so be sure to mark your calendars! We will start our last story in Unit 4 of reading this week and continue with measurement in math. Here are your reminders for the week:

- Test folders will be sent home tomorrow. Please sign and return on Wednesday.

- 8th Grade Business Day is tomorrow! We will be going over tomorrow afternoon. If you would like to send in some money with your child, please put it in a labeled envelope! I think $10-20 should be more than enough!

-There will be a Religion test on Chapter 16 on Friday. A study guide will be sent home today.

- Friday is a dress down day for Children's Autism. Please send in $1.00 to dress down.

Important May dates:

May 14th - Father Daughter Dance

May 17th - May Procession

May 19th - 1st and 8th grade field trip to Devon Lanes (more info to follow)

May 25th - School Mass

May 27th-30th - Ascension Thursday and Memorial Day Weekend break!

That is all for now!
