Math - pgs 523 & 524 and extra enrichment worksheet (Today, we started plotting points on graphs. We had to learn about the x and y coordinates on the graphs to plot correctly. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)

 

Science - None (Science class was shortened today for both classrooms as parents came in and started a top-secret project from 5th grade for the auction at the Gala in February. We did manage to get our Lesson 2 quiz done, though.)

 

Social Studies - Pick your three countries for the project by tomorrow, and D.O.G. was passed out on Monday and is due by Friday (Today, I passed out their rubrics and expectations on the 3 Countries Google Slides project we will be working on in class for the next week or so. I also gave them a list of about 100 countries to choose three from, but they can also select a country not on my list. We should finish by next Wednesday and start our presentations to our peers on Thursday and Friday. This is so much fun; we learn so much from each other.)

 

~ 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.
