BizTown-We are leaving at 7:30 on Tuesday. That means the kids can't ride the bus to school that day or eat breakfast at school. They will need to eat at home.  We told the kids they are to wear mass day attire. I did remind the girls that there is a lot of sitting on the floor, so they might not want to wear a dress or skirt. They will need a sack lunch and drink that day. Drinks should have a lid, not a can. Parents, you will also need a sack lunch and drink for that day.  They may take their electronics for the drive. Our rules are no movies. No taking pictures. No sending text messages to friends in other cars or parents. 

Drivers: Here is the address for BizTown.

Reading- We are wrapping up our story this week!  They are taking a spelling test today. Tomorrow they will take the selection Quiz over the story. On Monday , they will take the weekly module test. Next week we will begin the final story in this module. Next week's story is a bunch of different poems that a boy writes to show that he just can't stop writing! 

Religion- They are checking their study guide today! That means their religion test will be tomorrow (Friday).   I am giving you a heads up for December. The holy day of obligation is on Tuesday, December 8. It is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The 5th graders will be in charge of mass that day if you would like to join us! Holy Days are usually a bigger crowd! There won't be mass on Wednesday of that week. 

Math- I am starting the kids back in our math books today! We are  going to work on multiplying with double digits! 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! My sister Mary from Sioux Falls is coming down to visit! 

God Bless,
