Holy Week and Other Things

Hello parents,
Spring is here and Easter is coming!  I pray that you are all able to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord this coming weekend.  All of our churches have plenty of services that they are offering for you and your family to go worship.

Here's what you need to know for the upcoming days:

Grammar
We have been working on helping verbs and main verbs this week.  We will have a very short and simple quiz tomorrow in class.  The kiddos should be able to pick out the main action verb and the helping verb in a sentence.

Ex. Our class has been making art for each day of Holy Week.  main verb- making  helping verb- been

Social Studies
We have been studying our country's government and even had Mr. Witcher come and share his experience with the Supreme Court with us.  We will be having a test on Tuesday to finish up this unit.  The kids have been putting together a government flapbook with all of their notes from class. This should be in their Social Studies binder.  As long as they have been following in class, they will have all the notes they need.  They will need to be able to answer any questions about the things they have taken notes on in their flapbook.  This test will be very good practice for their achievement tests in a couple weeks.

Spelling 
We will be having our spelling test on Thursday this week because Friday is reserved for Good Friday activities.  However, they can turn in their spelling homework on Friday morning.

Memory
We are also taking our memory test on Thursday this week.
