Reading- They took their Module test on Monday! These were our best scores yet!!! I am really proud of them! I am really excited to see they are putting so much effort into those short answer questions!!! I assigned them their book report today! A few have already finished reading and taking notes! They are starting to make their Google slides for their presentation! The project will be due in May. 

This week they also wrote their rough draft for the Dollars for Scholars essay. They were given 5 words. They had to choose one and explain how that is important to their education. 

Math- They are working on problems as a review. Next week we will focus on the test. This week is just too busy with Holy Week  activities. 

Religion- They took their test today! All did well!! I will send home tomorrow to be signed by you. I am currently showing them the movie The Ten Commandments. I always show this to the 5th graders the week of Easter because our Seder Meal follows the Hebrew people as they left Egypt. Once they get passed the fact that the movie is from the 50s, they get involved in the story of Moses. 

Seder Meal and Cross Walk tomorrow! Thank you for returning the permission slips. The walk should start around 12:30 in our courtyard if you'd like to go with us! Remember to wear a white shirt for the photo we take at the church! 

Rosary- We will be praying the Rosary at 2:00 pm on Friday. The 8th graders will be leading us. This will be our final activity to celebrate our Lenten Season and Good Friday. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter with your family and friends. I am heading to Waterloo to spend it with my brother and sister. Safe travels for those of you going out of town! 🐰

God Bless,

Miss Surma
