WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

Language Arts- Mrs. Phelps

This week, we are taking the Reading MAP test Tuesday- Friday, so PLEASE be present and on time whenever possible! We are giving the students extra time outside or in the gym on these days to recharge after 30 minute MAP sessions. We will still get into our rotations/small groups for the final 30 minutes of class. 

Homework: No homework (20 minutes of independent reading is ALWAYS encouraged)

 **Figurative Language Quiz moved to Wednesday, May 1st**

**May 8th is our field trip the Muhammad Ali Center.**

Math: Mrs. Bennett

This week in Math class we are preparing for our chapter test on multiplying fractions. Students will work on the study guide in class and play some review games. The test will be on Wednesday, April 24. We will then start our chapter on multiplying decimals. 

We are continuing to check on our greenhouses each week! Students are graphing the growth on a coordinate plane every Monday. Hopefully we see some sprouts soon!

Homework:

Two Math IXL's from students MAP Skill Plans due Friday! 

*Students are given time in class to work on their Skill Plan, so I can help them as needed. Please encourage your student to ask me for help if the skills on their plan are challenging for them!*


Our greenhouses are officially outside! We planted tomatoes, cilantro, and balsam flowers! We will track and graph their growth over time and assess which greenhouse design was the most effective! 

Social Studies: Mrs. Crush

Students will continue their Central and South America Country projects. We discussed the four different parts last Friday. The students will have part of Mondays class and Tuesday to complete Part 1: America's Persuasive. If not completed during class, this will become homework. 

Part 2: Geography due Tuesday, April 30. 

Religion: Mrs. Crush

We will continue Chapter 17, "Jesus' Apostles Share in God's Work," in our Word of Life workbooks.  In this chapter, students will come to know the significance of Jesus' action of washing His Apostles' feet at the Last Supper, learn that through the Sacrament of Holy Orders, men are called to imitate Christ in laying down their lives in service to the world, and learn the words and external actions used within the Rite of Ordination of Priests.
