Catholic Schools Week was a Blast!
What a great week for the students and staff. Thank you to all the families that helped organize many of the events and who helped spoil the teachers all week too! We are ALL so blessed.
Last week interrupted our schedule quite a bit, so students have just completed the rough draft for their narrative biography of the Titanic. We will work on final drafts this week along with the book report essay. Lots of writing to do!
Spelling: Lesson 16 Journeys; words with /k/, /nk/, /kw/

I apologize for the song about animal parts. At least 1/2 of my students were singing the song this morning before class. I am still trying to define that line between funny and annoying.
Invertebrate Olympics start this week! Pick your animal and event. Personally, I would stay away from the "yummy" phylum as they tend to get eaten up at the finish line.
The countdown has started, Feb. 9th.
Social Studies
The children will complete the final copy of the "About the Author" page for their ABC state report book, and we will also start chapter 6 - "They Came to Wisconsin and They're Still Coming: Immigration and Settlement. The chapter focuses on vocabulary and the push-pull nature of migration and immigration. Seven mini-biographies serve as the principal content pages of the chapter, giving students ample opportunity to become acquainted with real Wisconsin residents past and present.
Math
We will continue to use Least Common Multiples to create Least Common Denominators in order to compare and order fractions. We will do a review of Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions. We will then move into changing decimals into fractions and then simplifying the answer. This will provide an opportunity to review simplifying fractions.
Language Arts/Writing
Working on compare contrast paper.
using adjectives to describe our nouns!
Religion
St. Paul's conversion was this past week. A little more dramatic than Brett Farve's conversion to becoming a Viking, but change is never easy unless we have faith.
This week we will start looking at what people must do to convert to Catholicism.
We periodically listen to or watch a video on the Parish's website, Formed.com
Other stuff - We are reading a series called Island, about a group of children that have to survive many things including being on a deserted island.
In 43 days, we will participate in The Last Great Race.
We are trying to figure out how we can watch some animals starting Feb. 9th.

We continue to work on our realistic fiction book report essay. Most of this will be worked on in the classroom. Some of the final draft writing may come home.
We will also begin a new novel.
