Dear Parents,
Next week we will be reviewing our PBIS Behavior Expectations. To make sure these are fresh in the students minds. We also have our new Gator Shout Out’s where students write on a (special paper square with very cute decor) about someone they saw doing something nice, helpful and following our PBIS Expectations, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible. We have a jar in our room and when that jar is full our class will get a free recess celebration for being Amazing! I hope you have a great weekend!

Religion
Next week we will begin Chapter 2, Made to be with God. In this chapter we will learn that our longings are part of the desire God put in our hearts to be truly happy with Him. We will learn that Grace is a free, loving gift from God and the things that he has revealed to us, both a gift from God and a human choice. We learn about what is Faith as well and that the Sacrament of Baptism is the beginning of the journey of faith.

Science
Students in 5A and 5B are going to finish their unit on Immune System and Microorganisms with a quiz on Monday. Students were given a study guide this week that will be turned in on the day of the test. Students should have all answers needed for the study guide on their body notes and in their 5 subject notebook. If they are missing notes I have posted my notes on google classroom as an additional resource.
For our next unit, we will begin a discussion on environmental engineering. Students will learn important aspects of ecosystems and what happens when human interference causes damage to the system. Students will learn how engineers work to solve environmental problems like oil spills, and later this month we will be cleaning up our own simulated oil spills.
Social Studies
Next week we will be continuing to work on Lesson 2 Native Americans and Their Land. Students will be completing Reading Notes and then begin to prepare for the Inuit Family Act-it-Out’s. Students should turn in all missing work by Monday 10/12.
