Study Skills

We have discussed tips for note taking.  They were surprised to hear how little changes, like color coding with highlighters can really help them remember facts.

Life Skills

In Life Skills we have learned how to write a check, deposit a check, and endorse a check.  We had Mr. Williams (husband to our very own Mrs. Williams) volunteer time out of his busy schedule, come talk to us about different types of banking accounts.  We have done a resume and have even done mock interviews.

Creative Living: Magazine Rosary

Here are the rosaries we made out of magazines.

                         They took a bit longer than I had thought, but well worth

                          it......They turned out GREAT!!!!!!

The beads are made from rolled magazines.

Proud 5th and 6th Graders hold up their rosaries!

Study Skills

In Study Skills we  are getting ready to start our unit on "Developing Good Study Habits". We will be discussing what conditions make it hard to concentrate, and how to fix it.  We will talk about tips on concentration as well as track where our time goes throughout the week. Tracking time will help student to see where their time is going, and where more time needs to spent.

Math

In math we are learning about the different ways to graph data. We made foldables yesterday in class to reinforce what we had learned. Next week we will begin our review of chapter 6 and have our test.

 In Creative Living we finished our monsters. They turned out great!!!!! They are being displayed in the hallway in front of Patton/Busch classroom.
We have started on our magazine rosary. Brianna (the youth director of St. Anne's) is coming to talk to our class tuesday. She is going to tell us about the history of the rosary.  All of our students know how to pray the rosary, but many do not know the history of the rosary.
