Make sure students always have a silent reading book…
We have another vocabulary quiz Thursday. The words for the quiz will go out Monday.

our other work.

We have been doing some labs to reinforce the Law of Conservation of Mass and graphing our data in
histograms. This week we will have another lab and will also learn to create histograms in Google Sheets
and submit our work online.

We are just about done with chapter 20 and will be starting some review. Some groups are finishing up
their solar system presentations too. We will be submitting our project work on Google Classroom!
Oktoberfest is just a few short days away! Did you know we’re having pony rides and a 25 foot rock climbing wall this
year? Come and join us!
In keeping with our theme this year (Ephesians 4:32) we’re reaching beyond our four walls to “be kind and
tenderhearted.” Bring in the following items to the Narthex to donate to Loaves and Fishes as part of O’fest: white
pasta, white rice, dry soups, ready to eat soups, dried beans, sugar, flour, cereal, oatmeal, spaghetti sauce, dried fruit,
and personal care items. Mrs. Fox has 20 t-shirts of various sizes to those who donate. Come to her office to pick one up!
We also have a few more volunteer opportunities. (There’s no better way to get your PIP hours!) Sign up
