Fifth grade students at Holy Trinity focus on core subjects which include: reading, spelling, grammar, science, history and math. They also attend Christian Education class three days per week and Chapel every Wednesday to grow in their faith. Each year, students complete projects to enrich their knowledge in social studies and science, read new and exciting stories, and develop a higher level of math skills. Our goals are: to learn responsibility, be prepared, show respect to ourselves and others, do our best to be honest and trustworthy, while we grow in our love and knowledge of Jesus; while showing His love through our actions and behavior.
Families are an important part of our education. I appreciate all you do to support us throughout the school year. I will post the weekly newsletter here to help keep you up to date on our events. If you have any questions, please email me at ebolman@htlc-bg.org. I'm looking forward to a great school year in 5th Grade!
5th Grade News: April 27th-May 1st
Congratulations are in order to the 5th grade class for doing a great job on their wax museum project! As we round out the final weeks of the school year we will be starting a comprehensive review in several subjects. Math will be the most review heavy section as we seek to secure mastery of this year's topics. In Language Arts we will have a variety of written assignments that will allow students to showcase their growth this year. Reading will continue to focus on a variety of different styles of stories to reinforce reading comprehension. Science will wrap up with a unit covering systems of the human body.
