Monday, January 13, 2025 Homework

Book Fair is coming up, and the sneak peek magazines are coming home today. Please ask your child to see them and get directions on how the book fair works at our school. Thank you.
 
Math - pgs 511 & 512 (Today, we worked on generating patterns in charts and graphs. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
 
Science - None - Bubis Only  (Today, we read pages 114 - 119 in our books and answered the questions along the way. This week's lesson is about how plants adapt to different environments. Ask them what adaptation means. - My class will do this tomorrow.)
 
Social Studies - None, but D.O.G. was passed out today and due by Friday (We will continue with the Holocaust for a few more days as my plans for this week have changed slightly. Today, we read chapters 8 and 9 in our Holocaust books and answered questions in our packets. We have been having fabulous questions and talks about this topic. The kids are just so intrigued with how the world was. 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 enrichment opportunities.
