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
September 7th-11th
It’s a bit of a short week due to Labor Day! However, students will continue their work in math with exponents and the order of operations. They will also finish work on their Buy it Your Way project. Social studies will focus on the age of Exploration from European explorers where students will take on the role of an explorer themselves. Writing will be adding punctuation usage of commas and semicolons to avoid run on sentences. Ask your child about their drone building in class:) Have a great weekend!
