4 Day Weekend Ahead!



Hello Families,

Time is quickly winding down! We only have 3 short weeks to go. Over the next few weeks, we will be quite busy, so please be sure to read our blogs and the SFX e-blast.

On Thursday, May 21st, we will have our annual hot dog lunch with Fr. Dan out on the fields. Students do not need a lunch this day.

This is a gentle reminder that there is no school this Friday, May 22nd and Monday, May 25th.   
Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!

English Language Arts

Your children have worked their way through the entire Reading series. We will shift our focus on a book study using the book, Donovan's Word Jar. Each day, we will read two chapters, look up vocabulary words, answer comprehension questions, and work on other activities.

Spelling words will comprise of words from our study of Ancient Greece and Rome.
Grammar will be a cumulative review of key skills.

REMINDER - FINAL BOOK PROJECT OF THE YEAR IS DUE THIS THURSDAY, MAY 21ST

Social Studies

Students will continue learning about the life of Ancient Greeks and Romans and their contributions to our world.

The students will also complete their Junior Achievement lessons.

Religion 

We are continuing our lessons from our Family Life book.

Math

The students will complete their lessons in the area of Geometry.  This week's focus in Geometry is area, perimeter, and volume.  Did you know that Geometry was created by the Ancient Greeks?  In fact, the word Geometry is derived from the Greek words "gaia" (geo) and "metria" (meter) and means "earth measures".

Once we complete our Geometry lessons, the students will begin learning about the measurement of liquids.

Science

3B  will begin creating their biographical reports on their assigned famous scientist.
