Teacher: Ms. D'Antonio

Ms. D'Antonio also teaches science for 5th-8th Grades.

Welcome To Fifth Grade January Highlights!

In Math, we will be working on our Catholic School’s Week Unit where we will do application based mathematics dealing with the Westward movement.  Everyone get on the wagon!

In Religion, the fifth grade students are continuing to study the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation.  

In Science this month, the students are continuing to learn about the Earth’s layers. The students are also preparing this month for the science fair.

In Reading, the fifth grade students are learning to apply reading strategies. This month we are focusing on making inferences, summarizing, character analysis, questioning, and using context clues to identify unknown words.

In Social Studies, the fifth graders will be taking “A Walk Through American History” by learning more about the Western Movement and the Gold Rush.  They will practice their mapping skills and look at important people and places of that time period. 

In English, the students have completed the Review of Literature and Reference List sections of the Science Fair research book during December.  They will discover the importance and influence of American History on writing and composition as it encompasses our many acquired skills through hands-on experiences during our January Journey.
