Ms. Masserant's 5th Grade
Our Mission: Monroe Catholic Elementary Schools is a Christ centered, Catholic learning community committed to the academic excellence and spiritual development of every student.
Reminders:
- If you have dead, dried up markers, please give them to your child to recycle. We are recycling any marker that is no good anymore. Doesn't matter the brand. The markers are recycled into fuel!
- My Class Code for Scholastic is: T6XK6
- Please turn in Box Tops throughout the year!
- Students will no longer be able to call home to have parents bring their instrument if forgotten. It's the student's responsibility to remember. If they forget, they will lose participation points.
- We need more items for our treasure chest!!!
- My class is planning Mass this Wednesday, the 23rd. Please join us at 8:15.
- End of the 1st Quarter is Tuesday, October 22nd.
- Trunk or Treat for Pre-K - 6th is Oct. 27th in St. Mary's Parking Lot. Gates open at 4pm. Trunk or treating is from 5-6pm.
The end of the 1st Quarter is right around the corner! It is Tuesday, October 22nd. Make sure to check PowerSchool. Students can do corrections on any test, quiz, or assignment. If there is any missing assignment, 1 day late is 20% deduction, 2 days late is 30% deduction, 3 days late is 40% deduction. Anything after three days is a zero. If students turned in an assignment, test, or quiz but didn't put their name on the board; they need to check the No Name Wall of Shame Board in my classroom and I mark it missing until they turn it back in with their name on it. Please make sure that your child is studying their multiplication facts every day for at least 5 minutes. We have started Ch. 2 which is on multiplication. The more they know their basic facts; the easier the chapter will be.
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.

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 will get October Task Cards on Monday. October Task Cards are due Thursday, Oct. 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. Grammar: On Monday, we will be starting Unit 2 which is on Pronouns and we will be looking at Singular and Plural Pronouns. On Tuesday, we will be learning about Personal Pronouns. On Wednesday, we will be doing ELA Centers. On Thursday, we will be learning about Subject Pronouns. On Friday, the students will be learning about Object Pronouns. 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 Monday, we will be learning about Patterns in Multiplication. On Tuesday, the students will be working on Ascend Math. On Wednesday, we will be doing Math Centers. On Thursday, we will be learning about Estimating Products. On Friday, we will be learning about Zeros in the Multiplicand.
