Two trimesters down and one to go! I
keep thinking how has it gone this fast? Let's make this last
trimester the best one yet. The classes have all been

Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father
almighty,
creator of
heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our
Lord,
who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of
the virgin Mary.
He suffered
under Pontius Pilate,
was
crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended
to hell.
The third
day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended
to heaven
and is
seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there
he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy
catholic* church,
the
communion of saints,
the
forgiveness of sins,
the
resurrection of the body,
and the life
everlasting. Amen.

This week in 5th grade math we will cover these

geometric solids, and mean, median, mode, and range. We will
have an investigation towards the end of the week on graphing and
then celebrate Pi Day on Friday. We
will do special Pi Day activities in class on this day.
Students are allowed to bring a drink from home. Acceptable
drinks besides water are: sports drinks, lemonade, fruit juice, and
soda. Please no high energy drinks and limit the drinks to 16
oz.

Science
|
In Science, this week's focus will continue to
be ecosystems. We will continue to then look at how biotic factors
(or living things) are classified and dig a little deeper into the
Kingdoms of plants and animals. We are going to talk about
different types of ecosystems and explore how biotic and abiotic
factors interact with one another in some specific examples. We may
start to explore how changes to an ecosystem affect the organisms
that live there in the form of adaptations. As always, you
can keep up with our day to day assignments and any changes to this
schedule at https://stpaul5thscience.blogspot.com/

Our Civil War unit will be coming to an
end. Before we take a test, we will be completing a Civil War
based project. -Ms. Amling

Reading

Now that we have wrapped up our partner debates,
we will be launching self-inquiry projects. Because our unit is
about Argument and Advocacy, each student will choose a topic that
they are passionate about, and take a deeper look into the issues
surrounding their topic. They will put together Google Slide
presentations to teach the class about their findings to practice
being an active advocate. Presentations will most likely take place
at the beginning of next week.
