Notes for parents
* Spelling Journal: many students are not keeping up with their journals. In a
normal week, words are given on Monday and four activities are to be done by
Friday. A description of the activities should be in their journals.
* Math Journal: Most students are doing well with this. If you haven't seen
it, ask your student to bring it home.
* Religion tests: For chapter tests, students are given the long answer
questions two days before the tests.The hope is that will make the effort to
research the answers
