5th Grade News
The fifth graders have been working with all kinds of fractions lately. They can add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions, whole numbers, and mixed numbers, and continue to work on area, perimeter, and volume and plotting points on a coordinate grid. It sounds like a lot and is a lot. They have worked very hard each day to prepare themselves for testing and sixth grade. In religion the focus has been on the sacraments and discussing all things Lent. They took part in Reconciliation, had a visit from an angel, and continue to pray the Stations of the Cross each week which will lead us to Holy Week. In reading they are learning to infer information given to them in a reading passage. In social studies they just finished examining the Declaration of Independence using a scavenger hunt! They are now comparing and contrasting the strengths and weaknesses of the British and American forces during the Revolutionary War. Language Arts is all about working on the skills of writing “hooks” or leads in informational writing. It has been fun drawing readers into essays with an opening sentence. They are looking forward to their next type of writing. Health topics have been the focus lately instead of science. The first unit focuses on medicine and drug safety. Discussions have been about why it is important to know the difference between a prescription and an over-the-counter drug, how to take them safely as well as how and when it is used properly it can help your mind and body. As you can see, the fifth graders are covering a lot of topics in class and continue to give it their all in their specials classes. In fifth grade when you miss a day you miss a lot. Check in next month to see how the field trip went. Happy spring!
