Hello! My name is Mrs. Magas and this is my 15th year teaching science and relgion to the fifth graders at St. Agnes Cathedral School.  Fifth grade is a special year and I feel blessed to be a part of it.  I am so excited to begin a new year with my amazing students as we learn and grow together!  

Science News:  
Our fifth grade scientists will begin learning about the scientific method, basic lab equipment, and qualitative and quantitative observations.  These skills will be put to use as we dive deeper into the curriculum.  We will kick off the year with our first major unit as we study "Properties of Matter".

Religion News:
This year, we are excited to deepen our faith journey with a new series from the Sophia Institute.  Students will also receive thier own bible and learn how to navigate through it.  During the year, will focus on "God's Creation", "The Liturgical Year", and "The Sacraments".  

Other Information:
Please use Google Classroom to access daily lessons, notes, homework assignments, announcments and important dates. I look forward to previewing the year and meeting all of the fifth grade parents on Back to School Night on September 15th!
