It is hard to believe that we have passed the halfway point of the year, and fourth graders are now working towards becoming fifth graders by the end of the year. We celebrated a wonderful Catholic Schools Week despite the snow. Now we are looking forward to the Lenten season with prayer services, masses, and stations.
We just finished reading Secret School and created an alphabet poster based on the story. We will continue reading Where the Mountain Meets the Moon looking ahead to another exciting project. We continue to explore new spelling strategies and read interesting passages in our reading books.
Students in fourth grade did a great job creating ecosystems before moving on to the topic of rocks and minerals. Fifth grade recently studied body systems and will be moving on to creating food webs while studying ecosystems.
We look forward to more days of great learning and fun activities.

This year is certainly flying by. Its hard to believe that we are more than half way through the school year.
In Religion we will be focusing on Lent and Easter in addition to continuing Unit Three “I Believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.”
In 4th Grade Math – we are working on Division. I have been reminding them to practice their multiplication facts. I am also going to be testing students more frequently as our chapters are quite long. The plan is to test them every five lessons and have a cumulative test at the end of each chapter.
In 5th Grade Math – we are working on Fractions. I am also going to be testing students more frequently as our chapters are quite long. The plan is to test them every five lessons and have a cumulative test at the end of each chapter.
Reading and Spelling will resume as usual, we are currently working on Unit 4 in our text. I am hoping to incorporate a whole class novel study, The Invention of Hugo Cabaret.
