Rosary
As most of you know, May is the month of Mary. During the month of Mary the 5/6 grade class does
the Rosary daily. We divide the Rosary up from the beginning and the end. Like 5 first half and 6 end half.

May 13
This month has been such an inspiration and joy. We have been very busy with a variety of things! One new tradition we have begun this May is praying one decade of the Rosary every day at 10:10. It is such a peaceful mid-morning break for us all! Thank you to our Neon Neighbors who have settled nicely into the habit of this morning prayer. Next year we may consider doing this in both October and May.

One book, one school .
We are reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane as an entire school. Each day we have a trivia question and we often talk about the story including the rich vocabulary used by the author. What a great way to share!
The 5th and 6th graders are also following the Iditarod Race this year. We watched a bit of the start on class this afternoon.

The 5th and 6th grade science classes are both studying space and astronomy in some way. For this reason, we are doing a constellation project together. Students are to research a constellation and a myth about it. They are drawing the constellation on a 12 X 18 piece of black construction paper. They also need to read a myth and write a summary of the myth of their constellation. Finally each student will make a "fact sheet" for their project. These projects are due on Tuesday, January 13th.
We are excited to get the Chromebook into the class. We hope to have them in the hands of the students by next week! Thanks to the Home and School and also to Mr. Schanen for getting them and setting them up for us.

We returned back to school from Christmas vacation with a super cold day including indoor recess. When we shared the "highlights" from our break, I was impressed that most were about seeing cousins or grandparents rather than the gifts received. It is nice to see that the time shared with those we love is greatest gift of all!
We hope for warmer weather so that we can get out to play in the snow.
