Religion –We have finished our in class work time with the Google Slide Presentations on the 7 Sacraments. Students will need to finish these on their own over the weekend-they will be due Monday February 25. Students will then be presenting these to the class over the next several weeks. We encourage you to take a moment and view these presentations at home. We will be starting 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. A Lenten Service project will be required for all 5th graders. More information will be sent at a later date.
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 after MLK. We will also take some time to read in Literature Circles.
Math – We spent time working on improper fractions, mixed numbers, and parts/whole. Next week, we will spend time converting fractions to decimals and percents.
Science - We spent the week discussing our general health, which seems like a good thing with all the sickness going around. We practiced washing our hands with a fun experiment with “Glo-germ” ask your child about that. We will continue with health and begin discussing the Heart next.
Language Arts – We took our Preposition Test this week. The application portion was challenging. Students were told that they may choose to retake this portion of the test on Monday at 8:00 if they’d like to increase their score. We also continued with our unit on persuasion by looking at the pros and cons of drinking juice and the importance of including facts and research when working with persuasion.
