• Thank you to all the parents who contributed to our class barbecue basket! Thank you Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Thompson for your hard work. Students, thank you for your participation in the class picture. I will update you soon on the bid results for our class items.
SAT 10 TESTING:
Students will be tested in the areas of Language Arts and Math during the mornings next week. It is very important that students be on time each morning, get plenty of rest the night before and eat a healthy breakfast. Students may bring some hard mints to help alleviate stress. No gum or candy!
READING:
The required reading for the month of March is autobiography or biography. Students will dress up as their person and give a first person oral report on Wednesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 26. Instructions for the oral report and a grading rubric were sent home last week.
Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework.
MATH:
This week we continue Chapter 10: Geometry. This Friday’s test will be entered for fourth quarter.
SOCIAL STUDIES:
This week we begin our study of the American Revolution.
BIBLE: We begin Unit 6 which focuses on Gospel Writings: Jesus’ Death, Resurrection and Ascension.
SCRIPTURE MEMORY VERSE:
The memory verse for this week is 1 Peter 3:15 and the test will be this Friday, March 20. Students will be graded on writing the verse accurately, including correct wording, spelling, punctuation, grammar and scripture reference.
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
