Happy Thursday Parents, I hope you are having a GREAT week! We are certainly enjoying Catholic Schools Week! 

Reading- This week we are reading a story called LAFFF. This one is science fiction about a girl who uses her neighbor's invention of a time machine to help her create an award winning story for a contest at school. The time machine can only go to the future and for a short time. You should ask your kids about the story. There is a great twist at the end!!! Plus we had to discuss what going back in time or to the future can do to things in the present day! 

We are also working on adverbs. Those can be tricky little buggers! They can describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs! 

Book Report- They will have 2 weeks to finish the book and get their project done as of tomorrow, Friday. I know some are already done reading and have created their project. This is just a reminder.


Hidden Figures movie was such a GREAT movie. I think they liked most of it. We had great discussions afterwards about the kind of math those women could do! Amazing. We also talked about the racism  against the blacks and the sexism against women in general at that time. So much to learn from that movie! If you haven't gone, you really should!

Math- They took the test on Wednesday! We won't have math anymore this week, but I will see about making time to do corrections if we need to. I am not sure if you will see the test this week or I may wait until Monday. Our next chapter will be on multiplying decimals.

Mass- Next week on the 8th is our 5th grade mass. I hope to give your kids their parts on Friday. 

Mass on Friday-- I told your kids, but just make sure they see me after church if they are going home with their grandparents or special guests. 

Have a great weekend!
God Bless,
Miss Surma
