Welcome to Fifth Grade at Trinity Lutheran!!

We are beginning to get used to fifth grade rules and routines.

ELA: We are taking the beginning of the year assessment. We are also enjoying the book Frindle  by Andrew Clements.

Math: Chapter 1: Investigate Place Value and Patterns. Ch 1 Test will be on Sept 29. We will be reviewing multiplication facts.

Science: We are learning about the Scientific Method. We will be using pizza box solar ovens to make smores.

S.S.: Chapter 1: Peopling The Western Hemisphere. No test for this chapter. We will be completing two ‘foldables’ that will be grades as classwork grades.

Bible: We are discussing respect, the school wide verse, and our class verse for the year. First verse test is 1 Corinthians 16:14 on Thursday, 9/10. Test on class verse, Ecclesiastes 3:1 will be Wednesday, 9/16. We are talking about who God is and stressing His love for us.

It is warm in our classroom. Please send a water bottle or refillable cup with a lid with your child.

If you haven’t received all your textbooks from your district, please continue to get them and send them in as soon as you are able.

First day for hot lunch: Tuesday, 9/15. Please be sure you have handed in the lunch calendar with the days your child will be buying circled.

Thank you for enrolling your children at Trinity. It is my pleasure to be able to work with them everyday. You can reach me with questions or concerns by email at [email protected], by note sent in with your child, or by phoning the office and leaving me a message with a number you can be reached at.

As the months go by and I am presented with various situations and experiences in my life, I am continually learning that I need to let God be in charge of my life and part of it. I have been thinking of a verse that reminds me of God’s wonderful plan for me…

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,

“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.’

Jeremiah 29 :11

God is with you  in whatever you ‘re going through today, whatever choices you need to make, He has a perfect plan.  I hope this verse encourages you in some small way.    Mrs. Lively
