5th Grade News May 14th-May 18th
STEAM DAY WAS A SUCCESS! The students learned about the different levels of the ocean floor, researched a creature from a particular level, and then created it with a variety of art supplies! Check out the bulletin board in the 4th/5th grade hallway! It looks beautiful! Students in science made a lung out of the liter bottles you so graciously provided and learned the specifics on how our lungs work. In Math, we learned the difference between salt water and fresh water density. We also learned about buoyancy and density through an experiment the students completed using packets of ketchup and the 1 liter bottle they brought from home. Thank you so much for supporting our material needs! :)
Religion – Our acrostic Mary poems and illustrations are complete and in the hallway. If you are in the building, please take some time to walk through our hallway. They turned out beautifully. We also spent time reading about Mary in Scripture Next week we will learn more about the Rosary.
