Happy Easter!
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Easter Weekend.
Students should have brought home a gold sheet last week asking each family to donate some baking for the Spring Tea. Our class suggestion was on dozen Brownies. There are containers available in the school office for you to place your baking in and have it delivered to the school by Friday for set up and pricing. The students should also have brought home a volunteer permission form for them to help serve at the tea on Saturday. That form should be returned to the school as soon as possible for scheduling of the volunteers.
ELA—Four Reader Responses for April are due Apr. 29. The students completed their Children's Bible Story Books and presented them on Thursday. We worked on some Vocabulary Sentences with a Spelling Test this week. We will be starting a poetry unit this week as well as another Creative Writing Story.
Math--Grade 7s completed Ch. 8 on Circles and will bring home their tests for signing today. The start Ch. 9 on Integers today. Grade 8s completed Ch. 8 on Integers and should bring their tests home today for signing. They start Linear Relationships today in Ch. 9.
Social Studies--The students watched a video on sustainability and discussed some of the details pertaining to that.
