5-2 Mrs. Maureen O'Loughlin

The  month of September brings many things...cooler weather, shorter days, and the beginning of a new school year. The fifth grade students are off to a great start, learning new routines and following a departmental schedule for the first time.
We ask the Lord's blessings upon our new school year, trusting that He will always diesct our paths.

We have begun our Religion lessons "In the Beginning..." We are reading the story of Creation in the Book of Genesis and reflecting upon God's wonderful Creation. We are also discussing what it means to be good stewards of what Pope Francis calls "Our Common Home".

In Math, we are using a new series, "iReady Classroom Mathematics". This series is aligned with the i-Ready online program and the Next Generation Standards. Lesson one introduces the concept of finding volume using unit cubes.

Students are reminded to check Google Classroom daily for all assignments and notifications of upcoming events and due dates.
