Dear Families,
2nd Quarter is in the books and 3rd Quarter is under way. I have seen much improvement from the class with turning in assignments on time, putting names on papers, and working hard. I hope that it continues in the second semester. Please keep in checking PowerSchool and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
The only extra credit that I will offer is: students are receiving a free book from a sponsor every month. They must read the book and write at least a 1 page summary of the book. This includes what happened at the beginning, middle, and end. It can be handwritten or typed. They can choose what subject they want the extra credit to go to. They must write on the paper what they want the extra credit to go to before turning it in.
Important Note: If you're child ever needs to stay after school to ask questions or get help with work, I am here to help them. My goal is to leave school at 3:45. As long as I don't have a meeting or have to leave for anything else, they can stay after any day.
Thank you for your continued support and patience. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at masserant@monroecatholicschools.com.

Have a Blessed Week!

ELA Read Aloud: We will be reading Holes by Louis Sachar. Students will be answering comprehension questions as we read the chapters.
Reading: They should be reading 20 minutes every day. Students got January Task Cards on Monday. January Task Cards are due Friday, Jan. 31st. Students can work on them in their free time, at home, and they will also have time on Wednesdays when we do ELA centers. They can only write on the answer sheet and not the task cards. When they are ready to turn it in, they need to turn in their answer sheet and the task card packet. On Tuesday, I will be giving the students their Historical Fiction Packets. We will go over the packets and the Quilt. They will be reading their book and completing the packet on their own. If they have free time during school they will be able to work on it. If they don't have free time, then they will have to work on it at home. The entire project will be due Thursday, February, 13th. Wednesday, we will be doing ELA Centers. Friday, we will be looking at the disappearance of Amelia Earhart in the SCOPE Magazine. Grammar: On Tuesday, we will be doing the review for sections 2.7-2.11. On Thursday, we will be taking the test for Sections 2.7-2.11 Writing: Students will be writing in their journals this week. Important notice about English Tests: Students will not receive a study guide for English tests. To study, they need to review their notes; they can practice any of the exercises that are in the lessons; review the end of the unit review problems from the book (they have the answers in their ELA notebook); worksheets they did for homework; and/or use the online review games. To use the online review game, go to www.voyagesinenglish.com. Once you are there go to parent and student resources and then select grade 5. Students then click the correct unit that they will be tested on. We will also play the review game in class, so they will be familiar on how to navigate the website. Students will be able to use the notes that we take and that they write in their ELA notebook during the English Tests. |

Math
Multiplication Timed Tests will be every Monday. It will be how many they can get right out of 100 in 3 minutes. These timed tests will not be a grade but I will grade them each week and record it in a spreadsheet to see how they are doing week to week. Starting on Monday, the 23rd, on the homework board; I want the students to practice their multiplication flash cards for 5 minutes every night. This will help them to start memorizing their multiplication facts by memory. If you don't have flash cards, the students can make flash cards.
Note: Every Tuesday, the students will be working on Ascend Math during Math time. This is a website that students work at their own pace and on their own level. Starting on Monday, the 23rd, every student will need to work on Ascend Math for a minimum of 10 minutes every night. They also may have additional Math homework on some nights. The students have their log-in information. I will be sending home a letter about it on Monday. (They can also play Prodigy, but Prodigy is a game and is not required.
On Tuesday, we will be taking the Ch. 4 Pretest and then working on Ascend Math. On Wednesday, we will be doing Math Centers. On Thursday, we will be looking at Factors, Composites, and Prime Numbers. On Friday, we will be looking at Greatest Common Factor.
