Tuesday

Today was a loooong morning of Terra Nova testing so there's very little homework.

Read for 15 minutes and record on log.

Complete pages 24 - 25 in Religion book if you did not do it last night.

Rest up for another day of Terra Nova testing.

NOTE:  SPANISH homework due next Tuesday - Actividad C on pages 33, 34 and 35.



MONDAY - 
The main news this week is Terra Nova testing.
We spent most of today filling in the information on the answer sheet and doing practice tests. The children took the practice tests home with them so parents can review if you want to.

Testing begins tomorrow and continues all week. Our school policy is to give minimal homework this week because of the testing. The students will continue with their 15 minutes of reading each night and have one other assignment most nights.

Monday's homework is to complete, color and cut out the religion sheet.
Some students wanted to get a head start on the next religion assignment so they can do that tonight.

The most important homework is to:

Get a good night's sleep;
Eat a healthy breakfast; and

Remember to bring several sharpened #2 pencils.
