Other items of note:

Today, you will find a number of important notes in the Wednesday envelope, including information about Spirit Week,
a summer reading list, and a supply list for next year. 

Don't forget!  Our dance festival is next Tuesday, May 19th in the STM gym.  Hope to see you there!

There is no book report assigned this week. 

We continue to practice division, both on its own and in applied word problems.  We're discussing the Sacrament of
Anointing of the Sick in religion.  Tying social studies and literature together, we're examining Native American tribes and their
creation of many totem poles.  Have you seen a totem pole in your neighborhood?  We'll make our own totem poles
before the end of the week out of paper.  We're also learning about simple machines, including the lever, pulley,
wedge, and screw.  How does one know if he/she is doing work?  Ask your child to tell you.

I hope you're having a wonderful week, and enjoying the sunny weather!
