On Monday, students will be bringing home their Reading Unit 4 test. Please review their errors with them, then sign and return the test. Any score between 61 and 90 is considered "On Level." If I had a concern regarding your child's Reading score or 2nd trimester grade, we spoke about it during parent-teacher conferences, but if you have any concerns, please feel free to contact me.

While we are by no means finished with multiplication and division, this week and next we will work with measurement and geometry to review and prepare for the upcoming Aspire test. The kids are looking forward to the change. We will still continue with multiplication facts "Quizzies" on Wednesdays and Fridays. While every child learns their facts at their own pace, they should be making steady progress. Please help them succeed by encouraging practice every day.

On Wednesday, we will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and on Friday, we will again participate in the Stations of the Cross.
