Week of May 9


MATH 

Fourth Grade

         This week we will be finishing up Chapter 11 and having our Quest (combination quiz and test) on Wednesday, May 11. Our next chapter is on Relative Sizes of Measurement Units which we will be starting at the end of the week. The 4th quarter computation test is coming up, so on Friday May 13 we will begin our Computation Review.



         On Monday we will have our Chapter 10 quiz and begin Chapter 11 “The Teaching Church”. We will be learning about the Magisterium and its function as a teaching office of the Church. On Tuesday we will be participating in our last “Class Mass”. The classl took part in writing the introduction, and intentions. The theme of the Mass is “Believe in Jesus” and the patron saint is Father Damien of Molokai.


Fifth Grade  

This week we begin Chapter 11, Geometry and Volume, our final chapter!  Vocabulary is very important so I will encourage students to review it nightly.  We will have a Quiz on Friday covering Lessons 1 - 4.  Students will receive an online assignment during the chapter to view and take practice quizzes using the Animated Math Models. We will also begin preparing for our last Computation 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.
