We will be wrapping up our unit on the 10 Commandments this week. Students will have a quiz over Commandments 6 – 10 on Thursday, November 29th. On Wednesday of this week, students will be making “ornaments” for our Jesse Tree that will be on the bulletin board in the hall…it will be completed by Friday so come take a peek next week some time!
Today your child received a letter to give to you about the “Called to Protect” program we will be teaching next week. Please be sure to read the information and only return the bottom portion of the letter if you do NOT want your child to be a part of the lessons.

Math
This week, we will be discussing fractions as division expressions and decimals. We will also practice making improper fractions into mixed numbers and mixed numbers into improper fractions. Please remember that in 2nd trimester, homework grades will be based on accuracy, not just completion. Students can anticipate a small quiz by the end of this week.
