Fifth Grade News
Wishing you a blessed Christmas and happy New Year from the St. Benedict 5th grade class! In Religion class our faith focus has been on the Mass. We are studying the Eucharistic celebration and identifying the parts of the Mass from beginning to end. Along the way we are celebrating the different themes throughout the liturgical year and centering on Advent right now. We discuss names we give Jesus, how we are celebrating the season with hope, love, and joy, These four weeks help us prepare for His coming by living and loving as He did. We are attending prayer services, had our first Friday grade level Mass, made an Advent wreath, completed Bible searches, had a visit from an angel, and even went to Reconciliation. During all of this we still find time to learn new math concepts. We are becoming fluent with decimals. We can identify place value to the thousandths, compare, order, round, estimate, and add and subtract them. In English Language Arts, we are working on persuasive writing and developing verb usage. In Reading class, we are becoming more reflective readers by recording our thoughts and discussing how writers use tone and mood to communicate their message to us. In Social Studies, we are studying the Age of Exploration and how the arrival of Europeans effected the Native Americans. In Science, we are studying Force and Motion as well as Newton's Laws and applying our knowledge with a marble race! We spend our days working hard to get ourselves ready for new concepts that are right around the corner.
