We will be meeting with our Big Sisters from the Eighth Grade this week. It will give the girls an opportunity to broaden the horizon of St. Catherine's School Community and allow the girls some time to chat and get to know the older girls. We meet monthly to work on projects and crafts for fellowship and fun.

Wordly Wise testing is completed every two weeks on the Quia website. The girls practice using their vocabulary words and forms of the word, placing them into sentences on these Wordly Wise vocabulary tests. We practiced Test 1 together at the beginning of the week and completed Test 2 independently on Thursday.

*Video Clips are being created to assist parents in accessing sites used by the students and provide information on accessing your daughter's account to show a review of vocabulary progress.

Students have chosen a president to research and will be working in class to collect interesting facts and build a presidential time line. This is a long term project that we will be working on through October, which will culminate in a presentation by each student.

During math lessons we have discussed and worked with divisibility of numbers, along with prime and composite numbers. It is essential that students become adept at addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division basic facts. Several students are have their basic facts memorized, but some students still need daily practice for automaticity. Please make this a priority in your daughter's daily homework schedule. Students will be completing Unit 1 in Math after this week's review.
