Hi Parents! Happy Spring!! Busy week here in 5th grade! We started Monday with gym class first thing in the morning, then off to Mass for St. Joseph Day. At mass, we also got to enjoy the visiting relics of St. Padre Pio. Everyone was able to take home a prayer card that we turned into a third class relic when it touched the relics of St Padre Pio. We've been having fun in Reading with our current story "The Dog Newspaper." We have imitated the style written by the author in her autobiography. We've been writing our own stories about our pets, dogs and cats, and how they have interesting lives. I've heard some great stories about them this week! Some of our favorites were about the infamous "screen door" and a previously intact full box of tissues! Our adding and subtracting of fractions and mixed numbers became more fluent this week. Soon, we'll be multiplying and dividing them. Then, off to the world of geometry! Our class has had so much fun learning about ancient Greece! I loved to see all the variations of the project ideas that came in this week. So many projects were a nice mixture of our class material and additional research. These projects were a hit! I'm posting a few photos on the website right after I send this email. Today, Friday, we went to Stations of the Cross with Father Miller. Mrs. Gilbert provided our class with booklets to follow along this path with Jesus. Next week: Monday: Rdg WLT Chasity lesson with Mrs. Hutchinson Tuesday: DCHS Music in Our Schools trip Wednesday: SS CE Due Greece packet due Greece Test Thursday: Final Book It Bk Rep & Rdg log due Rel: Ch 15 Test Friday: Spelling Lesson 19 Test Math Ch 9 Test; Fraction/mixed # +/- Have a great weekend! God Bless You! 63 days until Summer break! But who's counting... Comments are closed.
