This week in Religion we will be exploring ways that we can know, love and serve God.  Students will hear the stories of Saint Francis and Saint Clare. Father Rob will be teaching a monthly Religion lesson to our class.  For October’s lesson he has asked each student to bring to class a multi-colored pack of tissue paper.  Thank you in advance for your help with this.

In Math students will work on memorizing the multiplication table for 3.  Students will also practice rounding large digit numbers and creating strategies to solve word problems.  Our timed-test will be on Thursday this week.  Students will need to complete their weekly 30 minutes of IXL by Friday.

In reading students will read the story OPT: An Illusionary Tale.  Students will be introduced to steps in a process, and apply the strategy when viewing the optical illusions within the story.  

Please remember students are required to take and pass at least 2 AR tests this month.  Please encourage your child to use their reading journal time to help them accomplish this goal.
