We will begin working with the grammar skill of negatives later on in the week, but no formal test will be given. 

Social Studies

Last week, all students were given directions and explanations on their final project of the year. Students will have one day this week and one day next week to work in class, ask any questions, and brainstorm ideas with myself or their peers. 

We will finish up Chapter 5 this week, so be on the look out for a packet that students will need to complete. Students will be given some class time to work on the packet. 

Math 

The students will construct tape diagrams to represent fractions.  They will also make equivalent fractions using tape diagrams.

Science/Geometry

The students will identify and construct angles based on the size of the angle.

They will identify and construct perpendicular lines and parallel lines.

Religion 

This week we will study the Order of Mass:  

Introductory Rites
