Math: Mrs. Bennett
This week in math class we are focusing on the Math MAP test! We will test a bit each day and then brain breaks to relieve any stress and move our bodies after focusing for longer period of times! I am eager to see your child's growth and progress so far this year!
Homework: 1/26 - 1/30
-No Math Simple Solutions- NTI (See Google Classroom for NTI work)
I always encourage students to continue to work on Reflex if they are not to full mastery yet!
Social Studies: Mrs. Crush
Students are continuing their lessons Ancient India, focusing on the Indus Valley Civilization, which developed around 2500 BCE along the Indus River in present-day Pakistan. Students learned that much of what we know about this civilization comes from archaeology, since its written language has not yet been translated.
Students will also explore how the Indus Valley people met their needs through farming, raising animals, and using river resources. A major learning goal was understanding why the Indus Valley is known for its advanced city planning, including grid-like streets, strong flood protection, uniform bricks, running water, and some of the world’s earliest flush toilets.
NTI: Last Friday, the students were given Map Directions, labels, and a map of Ancient India. Students will follow the NTI schedule and label their map of Ancient India and answer the questions. Please refrain from working ahead as we will pick up from where we left off when we return to school.

Religion: Mrs. Crush
For Religion, we will be focusing on our saint of the month, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton! It's very special that we learn about her with it also being Catholic Schools Week. She is the first American born saint and also started the first Catholic school. Each student was given a packet with activities to learn more about her. See the NTI 5th Grade Google Slide for the activities to be completed each day. Please refrain from working ahead as we will pick up where we stopped when we return to school.

Blessings in a Backpack
Blessings in a Backpack
Several schools collect food for low-income students who might not otherwise have food over the weekends. The program is called Blessings in a Backpack. There is a link below that you and your student(s) can sign up for. The volunteers simply walk around to each item putting it in a bag. One location is Alex R. Kennedy Elementary which is close to Ascension.
