Yesterday in 5th grade we...
- Attended our closing mass.
- Wrote our second last spelling test.
- Wrote our chapter 17 math test.
- Learned about different types of lenses, how they are shaped and how their shape affects light that passes through them.
Homework:
- Write at least 1000 MORE words for your novel. You should be reaching your climax this weekend.
- Design the border for your yearbook page with pictures and designs that represent you. It MUST be hand drawn.
Extras:
- During Monday morning assembly all homeroom and specialty teachers will be handing out their class awards. Each homeroom teacher will hand out three awards, and each specialty teacher will hand out one award to one student from each grade that they teach. Please come join us in celebrating all of our hard working, well behaved, and helpful students at DISK on Monday morning at 8:30!!!
- In the afternoon I explained all of the fourth quarter summative projects and exams to the students. For Social Studies, students will be writing a short biographical report, as well as presenting a speech (in character costume with props) to show what they have learned about ancient Greece, and the Greek world. In addition to this they will write a chapter 9 test on Thursday May 26th. For Reading, they will create a matchbook summary folder based on the novel they are reading in their book club group. For Language, they will write a vocabulary test on Wednesday May 25th. The other part of their mark will be based on their final copy of their novel. For Math and Science students will write regular quarterly exams.
