March News

     Everyone has been working very hard.  February offered a nice break to renew our strength for the last leg of the year. 

 

     In Theology, we focus on Lent and Jesus' Way to the Cross.  Students will work hard to draw one of the Stations of the Cross.  We will attend Stations of the Cross on Fridays.  We will research Lenten vocabulary.  Students will look up, define, and learn 40 Lenten vocabulary words.  Our test on the vocabulary will be on the Wednesday of Holy Week. 

 

     In Spelling, we have lessons 17 and 18 for the month of March.  The daily work is given throughout the week.   Please use https://www.spellingcity.com/users/[email protected] for studying and Melissa 5E Emond as the teacher. 

 

     In Reading, we finished a poetry unit.  We read The One and Only Ivan and wrote a summary in poetic form as a final assessment.  What a talented group!  Our next genre is classical literature.

 

    The 5th grade is finishing their fraction unit with ratios, proportions and percent. Extra help is every Monday in my room at 8 AM.  The sections for IXL are P, Q, R, and Grade 6 S, T, U, V.  

 

     The 4th grade is adding and subtracting fractions.  They will have like and unlike denominators.  IXL sections are S, T, U.  Extra help is every Friday at 8 AM.  

 

     In Accelerated Math, students are working with integers.  They will add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive and negative whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.  Next, they will complete more complex problems using order of operations.
