Serve-a-thon Our 5th graders will be driving to Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Olathe to help with beautification indoors and outdoors. You will see a permission slip in Thursday folders this week. Please return it promptly. Visit this website to donate or see our school rankings: https://hopelutheran.dojiggy.io/c/8bb605/Teams
Math: We are diving into adding decimals. Please, feel free to have your child work on their math facts at home on 99math.com! They especially need to be focusing on their multiplication and division skills for the remainder of the year, as those are necessary in their future math lessons. We started using a new website (IXL) to enhance our lessons and practice!
Reading: Students are working on a cereal box representing the book each student read. They will decorate each side and present their book report project to the class this week.
Writing: This week we are starting on a writing project to use their imagination to write a fictional fantasy story about escaping a video game.
Social Studies: Each student will be researching two states and creating a presentation to give as a 4th and 5th grade combined audience. This presentation will be worked on in google classroom at school during our social studies time. Southwest States & Capitals Pre-Test is on Monday, April 14.
Below is the exact resource I will be using. The maps will be labeled with a number, and the students will write the State and Capital that matches the location on the map. It would be a great resource to print for studying and preparing for the test for each region. When we move on to the next region, we will start with a pretest, and if a student gets 94% or higher on the pretest, then they will not be required to take the final test at the end of the region’s unit. When a student takes the post test for the region, the higher of the two scores will remain in the gradebook.
Norway: We are continuing to learn our traditional Norwegian dance! We are having such a fun time learning all of the steps! We look forward to continuing our hard work in learning the dance, as we will be performing it at the international fair on May 1st. We have been working on many things to prepare for the international fair. This week we will finish up our Rosemaling tiles, designing our shirts, and making Viking boats. Please make sure your child is prepared for the dance with the following: girls should wear a white tank top underneath their rosemaling shirts, along with dark navy or black pants or skirt. Boys should wear a white tank top underneath their rosemaling shirts, along with dark navy or black pants or shorts.
Technology: Mrs. Stava will be joining our class one last time on April 22nd. The fifth graders will work on finishing up their projects to present for our last technology class of the school year.
