Reading
5th Grade: This week we will work to finish the novel The Tale of Despereaux. We will continue with comparing and contrasting of characters, watch as our plot develops, and study the theme of light vs. dark. I plan on buying the video on Tuesday, so once we are done with the novel we can watch the movie to see if Hollywood did this wonderful novel justice!!!
6th Grade: We will finish Ida B…and Her Plans to Maximize fun, Avoid Disaster, and (Possibly) Save the World this week. The students will work on an activity based on the wonderful figurative language found in the story.
Grammar & Writing: This week we will continue creating a Grammar Book of our very own. We will review nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
Math-
5th Grade: We will finish Chapter 12: Expressions and Equations, Order of Operations and functions. Our test will be on Tuesday.
6th Grade: Inequalities in chapter 13 gave us some trouble last week! We reviewed and I think we are now back on track! Our test on Chapter 13 will be on Tuesday.
Social Studies- This week we will continue our study of colonial life. We will work on our Colonial Days Fair posters, trade signs, and activities. The kids will be creating a list of items needed to set up the fair. Please watch for the list. Date of fair is: Thursday, April 16th
Science- We will continue our unit on Motion and Energy this week. We will finish learning about Newton’s second & third laws of motion. We will also look at what gravity has to do with all of this! *Still looking for paper towel tubes and wrapping paper tubes for a future project.
Religion- This week we will devote our time to Holy Week. We will participate in a Seder meal with our 2nd grade buddies, we will attend the Penance Service on Tuesday, the Living Stations on Wednesday, and we will study the days of Holy Week in our classroom.
Yours in Catholic Education- Mrs. Lynn
May you and your family have a very blessed Holy Week and a Wonderful start to Your Easter Season! See you on Tuesday, April 14th .
Easter morn with lilies fair
Fills the church with perfumes rare,
As their clouds of incense rise,
Sweetest offerings to the skies.
Stately lilies pure and white
Flooding darkness with their light,
Bloom and sorrow drifts away,
On this holy hallowed day.
Easter Lilies bending low
in the golden afterglow,
Bear a message from the sod
To the heavenly towers of God.
