Dear Families,
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! December is upon us! The hustle and bustle that it brings, but let us remember the reason for the season. You will find the Sign-Up Genius above for the Adopt-A-Family. These items need to be turned in by the 5th. On the 6th, after the field trip, we will have a wrapping party. If any of our chaperones would be able to stay after the field trip and assist in the wrapping party, I would greatly appreciate it.
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 Wonder by R.J. Palaccio. The students have their own copy to follow along with and they will have a comprehension packet that they will fill out as we read the book.
Reading: They should be reading 20 minutes every day. Students got December Task Cards on Tuesday. December Task Cards are due Friday, Dec. 20th. 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 Thursday, we will read and discuss about Pearl Harbor and the students will complete a comprehension w.s. Grammar: No Grammar this week. Writing: No Journals this week. Students will be presenting their How-To Demonstrations this week. If they are doing a video, please send it to me by email, text, or Facebook Messenger. They can also save it on a USB or put it on Google Classroom. When they present, they must have a final draft to turn in and if they are presenting in class; they must have their materials/ingredients ready to bring to class. 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, the students will be working on Ascend Math. On Wednesday, we will be doing Math Centers. On Thursday, we will discussing Division Patterns.
