Dear 5A Parents,
We had a great week. The students have been working very hard! Have a great weekend!
Ms. Semandiris
Camp Seymour Store
As we explained at our Camp Seymour Parent meeting on Wednesday, you can order your child something from the Camp Seymour store on this link: Holy Rosary Camp Store Link. The order form will close on Monday, April 6. Students will receive the items they order while they are at camp.
Bingo Bash
Drop the kids for two hours (6-8pm) on Friday, April 17th for a fun evening of Bingo. This is for HRS KIDS ONLY, so parents make dinner reservations and enjoy a dinner at one of our local eateries. This is our staff’s donation to the auction and annually raises ~$20,000. It’s a guaranteed good time for all!
Kindergarten – 4th graders take over the gym. Sign up your K-4th grader!
5th – 8th graders will have the run of the school hall. Sign up your 5th-8th grader!
Students will enjoy pizza before jumping into a fun-filled night of bingo. With exciting prizes to win and every student receiving a free dress pass at the end of the evening, everyone leaves a winner. Don’t let your kids miss out—this is the HRS event of the year (at least according to them)!
Cost: $60 per student

Science
Students will finish graphing their data on the growth of their alfalfa sprouts, then students will play a game simulating the food web of an ecosystem to show how energy flows throughout the system. Students will look at a simulation to see how manipulating populations in an ecosystem can affect what organisms can survive.
Social Studies
Next week students will complete the Road to Revolution packet. This packet is a great overview of the events leading to the Revolutionary War. Students will also complete the Road to Revolution Reading Comprehension questions. This will be a great review before we move on to our Patriot vs. Loyalists Debate in Lesson 11. Students will need to bring their crayons or colored pencils and glue sticks for each SS class next week. 5A: Monday & Tuesday 5B: Monday & Wednesday.
ELA
Hello, and happy weekend to you all. Next week, we are getting closer to the end of Wonder, so expect some reading at home and in class. I will put the due date for the next double-entry journal on the matrix. The goal is for students to be able to identify passages that reveal something important: a motif, a theme, character traits, conflict, etc… As we get to the end of the book, we will begin to prepare for the final essay on the book’s theme. The double-entries will be a critical tool for students when writing their essays. In the following school days, students will begin to connect their quotes to a central theme, which they have chosen already. We will write an essay as a class before students begin planning their own. Have a great weekend!
