Dear Families,
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.
Below, at the bottom of my website, you will find important files that you may need.
Have a Blessed Week!

On Friday, we will be acting out a drama based on Women's rights in the SCOPE Magazine Grammar: On Monday, we will look at Adjectives as Subject Complements. On Tuesday, we will look at Adjectives that Compare. On Thursday, we will look at More, Most, and Less, Least. 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 Tuesday now. It will be how many they can get right out of 100 in 1 1/2 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.) Ascend Math will be graded now starting Monday, Jan. 27th. They must complete 50 minutes each week from Monday-Sunday. It will be graded on a scale of 5 points. 50+minutes = 5pts; 40-49 = 4pts; 30-39 = 3pts; 20-29 = 2pts; 10-19 = 1pt and 0-9mins = 0pts. I will be checking Ascend every Monday. Students can see on their dashboard how many minutes they have for the week.
On Monday, we will be learning how to add mixed numbers. On Tuesday, we will be doing multiplication practice. On Wednesday, we will be doing centers. On Thursday, we will be renaming mixed number sums. We will have the 5 question assessment on Friday.
