Happy Monday!  What a Monday we had!  Time flew today!  We started our school supply drive today! Please send in new school supplies to help support schools in our diocese. At the end of the drive 4th grade will count, sort, and graph our collection before it gets delivered.  Thank you in advance for your donation!

We are writing to a seminarian again this year.  The kids are writing to the same seminarian as last year!  We started our drafts today and hope to edit and type by tomorrow afternoon.  They will be mailed out by Friday.

We read one of my favorite stories in language arts today, Stormalong!  This is a tall tale about a giant sailor.  Spelling words also came home.  Homophones!!!!  Some extra study time may be necessary.

We multiplied using partial products today. The kids did really well.  The word problems were quite challenging today, but they all gave it their best shot!  Tonight's homework is practice 2.7- both sides.

The groups improved their membrane today.  This could be anything from using less materials, making it more pleasing to the eye, using more materials, or even different materials.  We will observe them again tomorrow.

We ended our day with a beautiful rosary led by the 8th grade.

Conferences are coming up at the end of the month.  If you know that a daytime conference is absolutely not going to work, please let me know so I can do my best to schedule them on other days/times.  This may not always work, but I will try.  The earlier you let me know, the better! Thank you!
