Language Arts- Mrs. Phelps
This week we will be taking the Reading MAP test Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Anyone who needs more time can finish up on Friday. Students will have about 40 minutes each day to work on completing the test. Monday we will take time to remember 9/11 and reflect on the impact it had on our country in the following days and years. In our spare time after MAP testing we will be learning new vocabulary words. The words this week will be coming directly from the Profile of a Graduate. The goal is to familiarize the students with the language and vocabulary so we can begin adding artifacts to our folders with a strong understanding of what each trait means.
HOMEWORK: No reading log this week due to MAP testing!
**Vocabulary quiz Friday- study flash cards (5 words)

Social Studies- Mrs. Crush
In Social Studies, we will continue our Geography, Humans, and the Environment Unit. Students have mastered and rocked their World Maps Quiz last week! We started to study the different parts of a map on Friday and will continue this week. Once we have learned the different parts of the Map, students will begin their "Barefoot Island" project. Students will be using their knowledge on the parts of a map and creating their own island.
On Monday, we will have a discussion about September 11. We will focus on the heroes and why we remember September 11. Students will be asked to conduct a short interview with someone who was alive during September 11, 2001. This will be completed as homework on Google Classroom.
HW: Students will interview one person who was alive on September 11, 2001 *Questions on Google Classroom* due Friday, September 15.

Religion- Mrs. Crush
We will continue Chapter 1, "The Invitation to Communion," in our Word of Life workbooks. In this chapter, students will identify what it means to be in communion with God, discuss how God speaks to them in the Bible, identify that Jesus is the Word of God, who gently knocks at the door of their hearts, discuss how to put God first in their lives, identify that our character is the kind of person we are and that virtues are the part of our character that enables us to do what is good with ease and joy, discuss how God's plan in our lives is to be in communion with God so that we can live lives of virtue, identify the themes of the Old and New Testament, and locate Scripture verses in the Bible.
Open Book Test: Tuesday, September 19 on Chapter 1, "The Invitation to Communion." pg 3-14. (Study highlighted word(s), bold vocabulary words, Chapter 1 Review, activities, or any drawings inside their workbook).
