Thursday, March 21st, 2024 Homework
Please take a moment and take the 5 Essential Survey the Archdiocese is requesting. Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
The 5Essentials Survey will be conducted February 12 through March 22, 2024 and will take about 10 minutes to complete. To take the survey please visit:
Math - None (With Spring Break coming and how hard we have been working on multiplying all sorts of fractions, I decided to give them a brain break and surprise the students by playing math games today. Some played with decks of cards, some played prodigy on their chromebooks, others played Connect 4 which is all about strategy. They earned the fun day!)
Science - None (Today we did our Lesson 1 weekly quiz with the use of our textbooks as guidance and I also gave them an extra credit worksheet for some extra points towards their Science grades.)
Social Studies - None, D.O.G. week 19 is due by Friday (Today we started to watch the Disney movie, National Treasure, which I love so much. It has so many historical mentions throughout the movie. If you haven't seen it, you should watch as a family. They have it streaming on Disney+. The second one is great too, but we will not be watching that at school this year.)
Reminders:
- This Friday is Spirit Wear dress down
- NO SCHOOL from March 25th through April 1st. We return to school on Tuesday, April 2nd. Have a restful Spring Break and a blessed Easter!
- I offer office hours Monday - 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 link.
- I offer afterschool Math group ENRICHMENT on Thursday's of every week until 3:15pm. Some weeks we review and some weeks we go ahead and learn the next lessons. We will also work on strengthening our math facts in multiplication. It is $30 per week if you'd like to join. You can come and go from week to week, but it is very beneficial. Contact me with any questions.
- Amazon wish list, if you can donate to our classroom... https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3RS691H76HBK0?ref_=wl_share
Upcoming events:
~ Field Trip on May 2nd to Kenosha Public Museum to learn about Native American tribes that lived in Wisconsin and also dissecting Owl Pellets. We also have another Field Trip on May 22nd to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha. More info to come for chaperoning by our Room Parent's. Field Trip forms to come home in April. So excited for these opportunities of enrichment.
~ After much research on my end, I have decided to end this year in Science with a bit of Biology. I surprised the students and told them that we will be dissecting a crayfish on May 22nd and an earthworm on May 15th. I would say 99% of them were so excited about this. A couple were not thrilled with the idea. Please know that this will not be graded, nor would I make any student do something they do not want to do or feel comfortable doing. This is strictly for fun and is totally optional. If they choose to not participate, they can come to the Science lab with us and read a book in the hallway. I'm very excited about this opportunity for the students.
