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: October 26th-30th
This week in math we will be introducing variables and heading into our study of algebraic equations. While in social studies we will continue to look into colonial life regarding social classes, slavery, and the French and Indian war. In science we will be going into the states of matter after having completed our physics activities with the mini-4WD race cars the students built. Language Arts sees the students starting research and rough drafts on their biographical style of writing. While in religion we will be looking at Gideon and then Samson in our lessons. The fifth grade will also be getting in some practice to prepare for their chapel on November 4th. Please join us if you get the chance.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Bolman
