MATH
Fourth Grade
This week we will begin to review for the
chapter 7 test. It’s hard to believe that we are moving so fast in fraction
skills. On Monday I will go over the next fraction Project which will be due on the following Monday- March 7. The 3rd
quarter Computation Test will be on Tuesday, March 1st. The Chapter 7 test will be the following
week on Tuesday, March 8. Keep drilling the multiplication facts. That is
why we are doing so well with fraction skills.
Fifth Grade
5th graders will wrap up Chapter 7, Multiplying Fractions, and have the test on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Please study the chapter review since it is exactly like the test. I will also give the How-to-Sheet with recommendations on how to best prepare for the test.
4th & 5th Grade Multiplication Facts
Most fourth graders should aim for completing 25 facts per minute and fifth graders should aim for completing 30 facts per minute. Some fifth graders have PASSED all their multiplication facts quizzes. You can print your own worksheets from Math-drills.com, play online games (see "Math Websites Tab" above), or borrow some "Holey Cards" from Mrs. Hall.
Fifth graders will begin retesting on facts they have not yet mastered this week. Each student received a list of facts to practice each week.

Religion
Hopefully this week we are finally going to begin Chapter 7 Jesus Christ. We have been so busy rehearsing for our Living Stations and doing Lenten activities. Some of the topics we will be discussing this week are: the Incarnation, Free Will, and the Soul. My hope is that the students will grasp the nature of Jesus as both human and divine. We have been enjoying the Redeemed On-Line videos and I encourage you to check them out also.
Upcoming events are: Cathedral Days (April), Class Mass on the 16th of February, and the Stations of the Cross on Fridays during Lent.
