Hi Parents,
As you know, this week began on a very sad note. On Monday, the funeral Mass was celebrated for Mrs. Gavin's husband, Phil. I have taught both of Mr. and Mrs. Gavin's daughters, Erin and Maura. Mr. Gavin has left behind a beautiful legacy in his wonderful family.
The fifth graders will finish Chapter 6 on "Metric Measurement" this week. It can be a challenging topic to learn and understand, but the students were steadfast. In reality, how many parents know how far 10 kilometers is? Is it more than or less than 10 miles??? See!
There are only two more lessons left in Volume One of the Social Studies course. Next week, we will begin Volume Two ( the final textbook ). The students gained a valuable insight into the trials and sacrifices of Colonial America and what it means to be a patriot of our wonderful country. We are proud to be Americans, very proud.
