February 12th-February 16th

Religion –We will be finishing up our Google Slide Presentations on the 7 Sacraments. Students will be presenting these to the class over the next several weeks. We encourage you to take a moment and view these presentations at home. Next up will be our unit on the Works of Mercy. Students will be responsible for knowing all of the Works of Mercy as well as how a 5th grader can serve others following the Works of Mercy.

Reading/Language Arts – We are continuing to work through our MLK unit/informative writing pieces. We will move back into our routine of independently reading, conferencing, and journal writing about current reading selections. Following Spring Break, we will take some time to read in Literature Circles.

Math – You will be receiving your child' Financial Literacy assessment at conferences. We are working on converting fractions, percents, and decimals now.

Social Studies - What an exciting time we had at BizTown this week. Students did an amazing job running their businesses, I’m sure they have told you all about the day.

Language Arts – We have worked through action verbs and helping verbs in our Verb Unit. We will continue with linking verbs, verb tenses, and verb tense consistency. On the 14th, we will have a special Valentine lesson working on Puns in class. We will need ads from the Sunday paper for this lesson. If you receive this paper and are willing to donate the ads to our class-that would be great! Please send them with your child to school on Monday! Thanks! We will continue with our Informative Writing unit next week as well.

Spelling – Due to the short week, we will not have a Spelling list/test next week. After the conference break our list will consist of words with the prefixes uni, bi, tri, quad, and pent.
