Math - Lesson 2 worksheet, if not finished in class (Today, we worked on estimating products of fractions when multiplying. This came easily to those who know their facts. A little bit more of a struggle for those who do not. Please continue practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will be doing a lot of multiplication and division in the next few weeks.)
 
Science - None - Schiff only (Today, we read about the different spheres of the Earth. What are the four major spheres of Earth's system?... They are air, water, land, and all living things.  What are the two leading gases in the Earth's atmosphere?...nitrogen and oxygen  What spheres did we read about?...atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Ms. Bubis's class did this yesterday.)
 
Social Studies - Seven Ancient Wonders Chapters 2 & 3, if not finished in Class (Today we continued reading the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World... chapters 2 & 3. Then we completed the questions on these two chapters. We will start discussing their projects on a Wonder in class on Thursday. We will also have an individual presentation project on a Wonder of their choice. Each person will present a different Wonder. I have a list and instructions for Wonders. These packets will be distributed to each student starting on Thursday for you all to review. This entire project will be completed and researched at school, according to my rubric, so there's nothing to worry about at home. We will teach students how to use Canva, as it is a new program for some of them, and how to create an interactive online poster board/bulletin board to present to the class. I'm so excited about this unit and the projects coming their way. They will learn a great deal from it.)
 

Reminders:

~ I offer office hours Monday through Thursday if your child needs me to reteach something in Math, Science, or Social Studies. Please email me for assistance, and we will meet via Google Meet. 

~ A friendly reminder: make sure your child is dressed for the weather (boots, COATS, hats…). If the temperature (real feel) is above 20, we go out!

Looking Ahead

  • Friday, April 3 - NO SCHOOL - all off for Good Friday
  • Monday, April 6 - NO SCHOOL - all off for Easter Monday
  • The Father/Son Night: Wednesday, April 15, 2026, from 6:30-8:30 in the Koenig Center.  Dr. Raymund Pingoy will facilitate the evening.
  • Field Trip on April 29th to the Kenosha Public Museum to learn about Native American tribes living in Wisconsin and dissect Owl Pellets. We also have another Field Trip on May 20th to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha. More info on chaperoning by our room parents—field trip forms to go home in April. I am so excited about these enrichment opportunities.

Science - None (Today, since we just had our Chapter 4 test yesterday and I didn't want to start a new unit on a Friday, we did double Social Studies today. In Science, we learned about the key players (Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Federalists, Napoleon Bonaparte, etc) of the Louisiana Purchase and answered some questions from the reading we did. Then they did a BrainPOP on Thomas Jefferson, but I did not count this as a grade at this time. It was purely for extra learning, knowledge, and enrichment.)
 
Social Studies - Louisiana Purchase packet, if not finished in class during Science (Today we worked on a packet about the War of 1812. This helped the students earn some national pride for the Americans and learn how we claimed the land now known as the eastern United States. They also learned vocabulary words, like: impressment, nationalism, anthem, and secede.)

Great job, 5th Graders!

The Stations of the Cross are a way for Christians to remember the last day of Jesus’ life. There are 14 stations, each representing an important moment from Jesus' sentencing to death to His placement in the tomb. When people pray the Stations of the Cross, they move from one station to the next, thinking about what Jesus experienced and how much He loves us.

Along the way, Jesus carries His cross, falls several times, meets His mother Mary, and receives help from Simon of Cyrene. A woman named Veronica kindly wipes His face. Finally, Jesus is nailed to the cross, dies, and His body is placed in a tomb.

Praying the Stations of the Cross helps families remember that Jesus suffered and died because He loves us and wants to save us. It also reminds us to show kindness, courage, and love to others, even when things are difficult.

  • Field Trip on April 29th to the Kenosha Public Museum to learn about Native American tribes living in Wisconsin and dissect Owl Pellets. We also have another Field Trip on May 20th to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha. More info on chaperoning by our room parents—field trip forms to go home in April. I am so excited about these enrichment opportunities.

Monday, March 9, 2026 Homework

Math - Fraction review packet - (Today, we worked on a packet I put together on adding and subtracting fractions that have to do with this chapter. It was a great additional practice for all. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
 
Science - Study Guide, if not finished in class - Bubis Only (We worked on review pages in the book and a study guide for our Chapter 4 test on Wednesday, March 11th. My class will do this tomorrow.)
 
Social Studies - Jefferson American Hero and Great Compromise packets, if not finished in class, AND D.O.G. is due by Friday (I am introducing the students to a few topics that we will start discussing. We worked on a Thomas Jefferson American Hero packet & The Great Compromise of 1787 packet. They will receive the Declaration of Independence books tomorrow, as we start that unit next.)
