Thursday, January 9, 2025 Homework
Math - pgs 497 & 498 (Today, we continued with PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, addition, subtraction) ... order of operations. It was just a starting lesson, and the students did very well with it. We will expand and do more with these lessons as we go on. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
Science - None (They took their Lesson 1 quiz today. As always, they could use their textbooks to answer the questions.)
Social Studies - None (Today, we read chapters 6 and 7 in our Holocaust books and answered questions in our packets. Talk to your child at home about what they learned today.)
Reminders:
- The food pantry collection is on Wednesday, January 15th, and the 5th graders have been given PASTA to donate. Please donate whatever you can, as it is much needed after the long break. Thank you so much!
- 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 the Google Meet link.
Upcoming events:
~ Field Trip to Feed My Starving Children on January 30th, during Catholic Schools Week. This will be the 5th grade service project for the year. The room parents will email the chaperone information as the date approaches. Permission forms will be sent home soon.
~ Field Trip on April 30th to Kenosha Public Museum to learn about Native American tribes living in Wisconsin and dissect Owl Pellets. We also have another Field Trip on May 21st to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha. More info is to come for chaperoning by our room parents—field trip forms to go home in April. I am so excited about these opportunities for enrichment.
