Hello Parents,
Well, if you hadn't heard-- the flu bug has hit our room. So far I have had 5 kids come down with it. I am hoping the others will not!
Reading- They are taking their test over the story and spelling test on Thursday. I want to dedicate Friday to their book reports. That usually takes a little longer. They should have their project and their costume with them on Friday. They won't be wearing it all day. It will be something they change into and they will be back to their normal clothes when we are done.
Next week they will be doing their unit 5 testing. I believe this one is a benchmark test which means more stories, but the same number of questions. They will also be trying out for our Baker's Neighbor play. They will have a script and their part by next Friday. My plan is to show the play on Friday, May 18 at 2:15 pm. Mark your calendar. The play is only about 10 minutes.
Math- They are adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. I had to do some background work this week on changing improper fractions to a mixed number and vice versa. Then add making sure it is in simplest form to the that as well. I know the kids that were out sick on Tuesday had a difficult time understanding, but we did a small group session on Wednesday morning and they grabbed on quickly. The trick will be teaching them to have to borrow with subtraction. That one is always a little slower.
Religion- We are in our new chapter and it is one I haven't taught before, but looking it over, I felt it was needed. We are talking about the hierarchy in the church-- the pope, bishops, priests. We are reading some of the stories from the Bible when Jesus was gathering his Apostles. We watched a quick 5 minute video from the movie The Bible on when Jesus met with Peter and helped him gather his fish in the nets. Peter being the rock of the church is a very important Apostle. We also read where the Apostles had to choose someone to take Judas' spot and they chose Matthias.
Food Pantry- I am switching our dates with Mrs. Sickels' class because of our play. The 5th graders will go to the Food Pantry on May 11, next Friday, instead of the 18th.
Lap-A-Thon- I know this is tomorrow. I am praying they will be outside. They should have an extra pair of shoes and socks to change into AFTER they are done running. They should also have a water bottle with their name on it to use during the run. I think they will run outside as long as it isn't pouring rain.
Yearbook Cover Contest- Anyone interested in drawing/coloring the possible cover for this year's yearbook is asked to submit it by May 9 to Mrs. Simmons. If they want to do something digital on a Google document, they can do that as well.
Field Trip-In your child's folder is the permission form and letter about our trip on Tuesday, May 15. Please fill it out and return by Friday, May 11. Make sure you also pay for the trip as well at the same time. I am excited and a little nervous to go. I don't do heights very well so I may not look out the windows very much! I am excited because I used to read a story in our old series about Kate Shelley. I am going to read that to the 5th graders before we go so they have some background knowledge of this famous Iowan.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I know First Communion is Saturday night.
God Bless,
Miss Surma

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are enjoying these warmer temps! I know we are at school! It is fun to be at recess across the street again! The kids did a great job with the rosary and the mass this morning. We had Father Kirby from Winterset. We didn't get to do the Sanctuary song, but that is okay. The 5th graders will have one more mass on May 23 with the 4th graders. Not everyone will get a job.
Reading- Tomorrow is going to be our "Friday" in reading. They are going to be testing over the story and having a spelling test. We don't have school on Friday. This week they read a historical fiction story about a family who are pioneers going across America to get to Oregon. The girl in our story keeps a journal. One of her experiences is a buffalo stampede. I showed them a scene from Dances with Wolves where John Dunbar is awakened by the buffalo stampeding by his fort. I didn't show the "hunting" scene. I said they could watch the movie at home with you! They understood the power of the animals and the dust storm they can create!
In our grammar we are talking about comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs. For example: dirty, dirtier, dirtiest or fabulous, more fabulous, most fabulous. We added adverbs today. Adverbs describe verbs and adjectives and many times end in -ly. You need to just add the words more or most in front of the adverb.
Math-- The tests are coming to you today to get signed. They really did great. Many were close to 100% but because they didn't show their work or didn't write their fractions in original form they missed them. I was pretty adamant about that the entire chapter and even yesterday I repeated it a few times while they tested. We started in our chapter 6 today. They are back in their own math books. It is still chapter 6 but now we are adding and subtracting fractions. They will most likely be learning about mixed numbers and improper fractions too.
Religion- They took their test today. We will start a new chapter on Thursday. I think in May I will switch from religion to doing their Guidance book. We will most likely end our year with that.
Book Reports- These will are due next Friday, May 4. They need to come to school with their report that day and their costume. They will change into the costume when we begin to share these. Sorry, this is not something they do in front of you. You will get to come and see their play in May. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have them practice presenting their book report to you at home.
Due to the book reports next Friday, I plan on making our reading program 4 days again-- just like this week.
Lap-A-Thon-- Don't forget this is next Thursday, May 4. The 5th graders will be running/walking from 10-11am. Don't forget to have your kids do what they can to raise some money! I don't mind a pie in the face for them! It wouldn't hurt for them to have an extra pair of socks and shoes to wear after the run in case of mud or wet shoes.
Remember your kids don't have school on Friday. We have to go to Des Moines for some PD.
Have a great weekend! Looks like the weather will be beautiful.

Hello Parents, Well, I'd like to say Happy Spring, but I am not sure Mother Nature has seen our calendar. I know my siblings in Eastern and Northern Iowa are getting hit yet again! I'm glad that isn't us.
Reading- This week we are reading a story called Vaqueros. It is the history of cowboys and how they got started. It really goes back to the time of Columbus being in Spain. The barbed wire that ranchers and farmers use is kind of what stopped the need for them. Thanks to Fernando for helping pronounce the Spanish words so easily!!!
In grammar they are working on easily confused verbs. We went over words like lay and lie, can and may. We discussed that many people say they are going to "lay out" at the beach. When in fact that is the wrong usage. Really you are "lying out". I told them lay is like the word "set". You put stuff down on your desk, on a table, on your bed. You "lie" down to take a nap. You "lie out" in the sun.
Math-- This week we were comparing fractions by changing the denominator. Then they have to use the greater than and less than signs. On Wednesday, once they learned how to change them, they had to write them in greatest to least or least to greatest. We are getting close to the end of our chapter. They will test over it next week. The earliest will be Tuesday, but I need to see how Friday goes.
Religion- They are finishing up the chapter on Spiritual Works of Mercy. They will probably test over it next week. On Thursday I will hand out their Rosary or Mass parts. You are invited to join us for mass and the rosary before mass if you can make it.
In the News- I hope you were able to check out the link I posted to show the 5th graders on the KWWL news. I assume they saw my tweet! Pretty cool they included us in their story. The kids are really good about praying for Jake every morning.
Clean-Up Day- On Friday we are raking the school grounds. I am not sure how much the 5th graders will get to help because it is also our day to work at the Food Pantry. They can wear sweats that day or shorts (no charge). If they want to wear a hat --that will cost $1. If they want to donate another $1, that will go towards flowers and soil for this summer. All rakes should be labeled! They should also have a pair of gloves!
Just so you know...they all survived the Growth Talk!!!!! Woo hoo!
This Friday we have school, but the public school does not. You will need to drop off and pick up!
We don't have school on the 27th. The teachers have to go to Des Moines for professional development.
Have a great weekend. My plan is to head to Sioux Falls after work. My sister and I are going to Doon on Saturday to pick out a spot for the bench we had made for our parents. Hopefully their snow will be melted!!! A girl can dream!
God Bless,
Miss Surma

Hi Parents, As I am writing this blog the ground is shaking from the work outside. WOW! I am glad I don't live where there are earthquakes. I hope you are having a good week.
Testing- We should be done on Thursday. I will use Friday as a backup if we need to. I am pretty sure we will get scores back before the end of the year. The kids are doing well. They are taking their time and don't seem to be rushing.
Math- We are doing some review work with our fractions this week. I don't feel comfortable moving on. I think they need some more practice with simplifying fractions and finding the common denominator.
Religion- We are focusing on mercy, but our bigger focus will be the Spiritual Works of Mercy. On Wednesday they did their skits. Oh my goodness. They were funny. I was going to tape them, but we did them outside to get away from the construction sounds and it was so nice out! The problem there is it became harder to hear. They definitely showed forgiveness in all of them. The common theme was some kind of bullying, but they really were funny too. You have some great actors!
Earth Day- Our school will clean up the school grounds on April 20. There is a flyer going home with more information. We will be needing rakes that day.
There won't be any busses on April 20th. The public school has their professional development on that day. All of our STM kids will have to be dropped off and picked up by cars.
April 27- No School for STM. We have our professional development that day in Des Moines.
Mass- The 5th graders will be leading the rosary and doing mass on April 25. You are welcome to join us. I know the 6-8 graders are taking a field trip that day to the Conception Abbey. I believe Father Halbur is going with them. We will have a substitute priest that day. I don't know who that will be. We will start practicing that next week. I am confident they will do fine. All the kids will have a job either with the rosary or the mass.
Book Reports- I know many of them are working on their projects or have already finished them. They are due on May 4. They will need a costume that day as well.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Next week will be back to normal with the classes. We have really enjoyed the construction. It hasn't been very loud and we love watching the progress each day! The back doors and my window are good lookouts!
God Bless,
Miss Surma

Hello Parents,
I hope everyone had a blessed Easter! I had a great time with my family in Waterloo!!!! I do wish we could have had it a little warmer! Spring temps can show up any time!
Reading- This week they are reading a story called The Birchbark House. It is about a Native American who is walking home and meets up with some bear cubs. She feeds them berries until their mom shows up! We talked about the theme of this story is learning to think before you act. Their grammar this week is present, past , and future perfect tense verbs. They are using the words has, had, have, and will in front of their verbs. Their verbs also need to be in the correct tense. They will take a test on Friday over this story as well as their spelling test.
Next week we won't be doing a story during Iowa Assessment week. We will go again with another story the week of April 16.
Math- This week we focused on simplest form of fractions and finding a common denominator. They continue to work on identifying equivalent fractions. They are catching on pretty quickly.
Religion- This week they continued to watch the movie The Ten Commandments. On Wednesday, I gave them the ACRE test. This is a standardized religion test given to 5th and 8th graders every year. It is to see what they are remembering from their religion classes.
Permission Form-- In your child's folder is a permission form from our school nurse. This is for our Growth Talk -- we discussed this at conferences. I have the date set for 2:00 on April 18. I will break the news to the kids before handing out the folders. :) Please fill out the form and return by April 16. Thanks!!!!
Iowa Assessment Week- We should be done testing by Thursday afternoon. As always it is helpful if your kids get a good night's sleep each night along with a good breakfast (if they are breakfast people). The PTO will supply a snack for them each day. We won't take any tests on Wednesday. We will only test in the morning unless your child is gone and needs to make them up. I always try to get them to relax and not stress. The point is to do your best. Try your hardest. They should always have a book to read when not taking the tests. I will remind them of this as well. If they are done with their book report book, they will need another one. They will still have their specials.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend. I would love to say, "Enjoy the temps!", but I have a feeling that isn't going to happen. I am supposed to be going back to Waterloo. My niece is going to her boyfriend's prom on Saturday. We will see if the weather allows me to do that!

Hello Everyone, I hope you had a great week off. I am so sorry the end of our break turned into such a tragedy for our community. We are praying for the Sharps, their family and friends, and the kids at the public school every day.
Reading- This week is a little crazy with Holy Week, so I opted not to do a story this week. I did assign them their final book report. You may be hearing about their person already! I know I am getting little tidbits every day! They are really working hard at learning about their person! It's great! The due date is May 4. They have a packet with the information in it.
The other item they are working on is their Dollars for Scholars Essays. This year they had to choose an attribute from a list about 6-8 words and explain how that is important to their education. Some of the words are: caring, respect, responsibility, and fairness. They are writing and typing those up here. The top 3 will be sent on for the contest.
We will do a story next week and spelling words!
Math- We started our fractions chapter. They are working on making equivalent fractions using multiplication. So far so good. I keep hearing things like, "this is easy." Hopefully it stays that way!
Religion- They are finishing up their chapter on living the Ten Commandments. They will have a test over it next week. They are also watching the old Ten Commandments movie with Charlton Heston. They have noticed that the backgrounds in the scenes don't look real, but I keep reminding them the movie was made in the 50s! The CGI wasn't as good back then! It is still a classic movie.
Seder Meal- Our annual Seder Meal is tomorrow ( Thursday). The 5th graders will help me set it all up. This is another tradition that I love that we do here.
Good Friday- Remember there is no school this Friday.
Iowa Assessments will begin on Monday, April 9. We should be done by the 12th, but we can use the 13th for any kids who miss a day in-between.
I hope you all have a great weekend and a very happy Easter! Enjoy what remains of our Holy Week! I am heading to my brother's house in Waterloo after work on Thursday. I will spend the weekend there.
God Bless,
Miss Surma

Hello Parents,
I hope you are having a good week. It seems winter isn't quite done with us yet. I know that shorts are allowed, but I want to make sure your kids know that the morning temp and recess temp may still be cold. They should have their winter coat with them just in case.
Reading- On Tuesday, they took their test over our last story. On Wednesday, they started our Unit 4 test. I am going to see if we can get it done on Thursday. That would mean on Friday we would start a new story that would wrap up the Thursday before break starts. We will see how things go and I will decide from there.
Religion- We just finished our Lent chapter. We will start working on living the Ten Commandments. We also will go to the chapel on Friday to pray the Rosary.
Food Pantry- We won't be going to work this month. Our week would be over spring break. The next time they will go will be in late April. We are collecting paper towels, kleenex, and toilet paper though to give to them.
Math- We are just about done with this chapter. We are now dividing decimals by decimals. On Wednesday, they learned that they can add 0's to their dividend to continue dividing and get the answer. The key I keep reminding them of is that they won't have any remainders if they are dividing their problems correctly. I think they will test over this chapter before they leave for spring break. I believe our next chapter will be fractions!
Spirit Day- This Friday is another Spirit Day! $1 for sweats!
Movie Night- This Friday the PTO is having a movie night for families here at STM. They are showing the movie Coco. It starts at 6:30 in the gym. There will be concessions for purchase!
Conferences- I think I have most of you signed up for a time. If you haven't yet, please do so! The link is on our classroom Facebook page. I also have it here on another blog I put out earlier this week. Thank you!
I hope you have a great weekend! Hopefully some warmer temps will be heading our way! I am ready for spring! I don't know that I will put out a blog next week since I will see you in person! If you are traveling for spring break, have a safe trip. I hope EVERYONE has a great break!
God Bless,
Miss Surma
