Math - None (optional: IXL lesson 7E8...look it up by clicking the search button, typing 7E8, and then selecting the 5th-grade lesson). (Today, we worked on converting basic customary units, including miles. Example: 72in = 6ft.  Please continue practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication and division in the next few weeks.)

Science - None (Today, we continued our teachings on the Seven Grandfather Lessons from the field trip. Each child had a worksheet with seven characteristics. They had to fill each circle with an animal that represents that characteristic. Today we presented them to the class for a test grade.)

Social Studies- None (Today, we focused our learning on a key figure in the Civil War: Abraham Lincoln. We read a packet on him and answered questions. Then, I had them watch a short video about him that I assigned in Google Classroom.)

Coming up, so plan accordingly: May 19th - 23rd

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.

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.
