A huge thank you to all the parents who donated items and their time to make Valentine’s Day special for the students today. They enjoyed their pizza, treats, and crafts.

Math - None - (Today, we worked on a comparing fractions packet that had us practice if the fractions were greater than, less than, or equal. We worked out many examples. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)

Science - None (We worked on a Valentine’s Day Webquest. They had to search the websites I provided on the packets and answer the questions asked. So many fun facts about Valentine’s were learned. Ask your child to tell you a fun fact)

Social Studies - None (Today, we completed a packet highlighting Abigail Adams. She was essential throughout the American Revolution. As a woman, it was scarce at that time to be so key. Ask your child to tell you a little about her…and maybe who she was married to.)  

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 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.
