Welcome to Grade 5! I am very excited to be joining the St. Stan’s community! We will be doing lots of learning in ELA, Reading, and of course Religion. Here is a brief explanation of what our classroom will look like this year.
LEARNING Goals
Grammar~ parts of speech so that the children can diagram a sentence. Grammar is the foundation for good expressive writing.
Writing~ PN, Letters, Descriptions, How to, Persuasive writing, Fables, and Reports
Religion ~Word of Life Who am I, who am I called to be?
Reading ~Comprehension is the key to reading. Good readers go back to the text to figure out the best response to a question or prompt. We think about what we already know to draw conclusions, and make inferences.
Expectations~ come to class prepared. Please have the books,writing tools needed for learning. Also come to class with a positive attitude ready to look and listen so you are learning!
Classroom Goals:
*Be kind and respectful
*It is okay to not know, but it is not okay to not try
*Organize your materials
*Be positive-mistakes promote learning, we check and change
*We explain not complain to be a problem solver
Thank you for your patience and trust!

Hi all, we are off to a great start and Professor H.G. Goose has delivered his first letter of exploration challenges for Grade 4/5 social studies. We are looking forward to learning where we will be exploring next.
Grade 5 Social Studies: Students will continue learning about Native Peoples of North America. They will compare different groups, including homes, resources and traditions. Students will use maps, readings and interactive notebook activities.
Grade 5 Reading: Continue working with informational texts, focusing on main idea, supporting details, vocabulary and comprehension. They will practice using text evidence and word parts such as prefixes and suffixes to determine meaning.
Grade 5 Religion: Students will continue learning about God’s love, Jesus, and our Catholic faith. Lessons will include Scripture, prayer, vocabulary, and ways students can live their faith through kindness, respect, service, and making good choices.
Grade 4 Social Studies: Students will continue exploring the five regions of the United States, including landforms, climate, and natural resources. They will strengthen map skills by using latitude and longitude and learn how geography affects where and how people live.
Blessings-
