MATH
Fourth Grade
This week we will begin
Chapter 11, which is a continuation of the measurement and drawing of angles. On Wednesday, May 4, we will have a Quest
(combination quiz and test) on Chapter 10. Last week the students were
given a rubric on the last Math project – Tangrams. The project will be
weighted as a quiz and will be due Friday. May 6. We will have one more
Five-Minute Frenzy facts test on Friday
also.
Fifth Grade
This week we wrap up Chapter 10 Customary and Metric Measurements. We'll review and have the Test on Wednesday and Thursday. Students should be memorizing their conversion charts in their packets. We begin our final Chapter on Geometry on Friday!
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
This week we will be finishing up Chapter 10. I’ve decided to make the test a little more challenging by making up my own questions. I will give the students all the notes they need to study, so that they will be prepared. I think this will not only make them more knowledgeable about their faith, but also prepare them for 6th grade. The test will be on Wednesday, May 4. We will also be preparing for our last class Mass, which will be on May 10th.
