Science, Social Studies, and Religion - Mrs. Heather Ricardi

Fun Fact: I have been skydiving before!

**Please encourage your children to make sure they hand in assignments when they are due. If they are absent, please make sure that they look to see what they have missed! Science and Social Studies are rotating subjects and are not taught each week! When looking at Power School, please be aware that grades in Science and Social Studies take time to update. These classes are on a rotation and grades won't change until we visit that subject again! If you have any questions about this, please reach out!

Science

There is no science this week.

Social Studies

This week we are going to be learning about the beginnings of the Maryland colony and why people made the decision to come to the "New World".

Please continue to practice the states and capitals! The next test will be on March 26th.

Religion

This week we are going to be continuing to learn about the Third Commandment. This is Chapter 12 in our Religion Books.

Homework: This is the projected homework for this week. It is possible that due to circumstances in class the homework may change. It is also possible that students will need to finish classwork that they did not complete during the class period to be turned in the next day which will not be listed here. Please look at the student's planner as this will have the most recent and up to date homework. If nothing is written in the agenda, please look at the absent work file attached at the top of the page as the current information will be found there!

Their login information is taped into their binders!

The quizzes will be broken into two parts.
