Math:

5^th Grade - We are working on the world of fractions.  We are adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions.

6^th Grade – We are working on fractions, ratios, proportions and percents.  We are using our new knowledge to price groceries and figure out sales tax.

Science:

In science we are working on our science fair experiments.  5^th grade is the first year we present our work to the judges for ribbons, so the competition is really heating up! In February we will be moving on to Earth Science and the changes to the Earth’s crust.  Excitement is building as we get closer to our trip to the Pines in May.

Our 5^th graders are getting ready to go on a most wonderful adventure to The Pine’s Catholic Camp. We will be learning about Entomology, Orienteering, Archaeology, Forestry, Meteorology, and Limnology. We hope to master the high ropes, canoeing, and so much more!

The 5^th Graders are well into the American Revolution learning about Colonial America.

In Science the 6^th graders have adopted an atom and we are onto Molecules and Bonding.

In Science, the 5^th graders are wrapping up Their Unit on Earth Science. We will begin learning about “The Solar System and Beyond.”

In Social Studies we are continuing to learn about our Native Americans.  The 5^th graders are enjoying learning their current events in their Scholastic News!

The 6^th graders have begun learning about Physical Science.  We are learning how to apply the Scientific Method as a way of problem solving.  The metric system will be used to make calculations, applying concepts, identifying relationships, and interpreting information.  The students are also learning the working knowledge of prefixes and suffixes used in science vocabulary.
