5th Grade News
January 16, 2026
These last two weeks we have had a visitor from Bishop High School helping us in our class. Lindsay is a senior and former OLMCS student with hopes of maybe becoming a teacher one day. She decided to use her J-term back at Mount Carmel working with our class. She has loved working with this group, and the feeling is mutual! Thank you to Lindsay, for all her help!
This week, Progress Reports are in the Friday Folder. These are a good opportunity to check in and revisit any goals set for the trimester, which ends March 6. Please make sure to sign these and return them in the Friday Folder. There are also some Free Dress passes in Friday Folders for those with Perfect Attendance so far. Way to go, and keep it up!
We continue to make progress with our State Report, finishing up "Famous People" this week. This chapter was a little rough, overall, and can use some good polishing. We spent our class time on Thursday making these even better! In Math, we took our test on Adding and Subtracting Fractions, which also means, we finished our first math book. The class got a lot of joy in recycling their math books, and receiving brand new ones, which will take us to the end of the year. Today, we began a new unit, Multiplying and Dividing Fractions, which heavily uses math facts. A bit of extra review this weekend could be a good idea! In Reading, we focused on biographies, and this week, we read about Rosa Parks, and her strength in standing up for what she believed was right. In SciTrek students designed and carried out an experiment to measure and observe pen smears. In Social Studies, we began our study of the American Revolution, and closely looked at some of the events that caused tension within the colonies. In Religion, we are starting to look at the parts of the mass, and will also put some focus on our annual Catholic Daughter's of America entries.
