CHAPERONES NEEDED FOR FIELD TRIP THIS WEEK:

All 5th and 6th grades have the opportunity to see FCS’ own William Barisic star in the Children’s Musical Theaterworks production of Disney’s “Tarzan” this Friday, March 28 at 9:30 A.M. Each class will need parent chaperones to transport students to and from the Fresno Memorial Auditorium Theater at 2425 Fresno Street. Please let teachers know ASAP if you are able to help with transportation.The cost of a ticket for chaperones is $10.00.

CONGRATULATIONS:

Anjeli Macaranas participated in the 2014 Fresno County Spell-Off last Wednesday and placed 4th out of over 40 participants! We are very proud of you, Anjeli!

READING:

The required reading for the month of March is autobiography or biography. Students will give an oral report about their person on Monday, March 31. Instructions for the oral report and a grading rubric was sent home last week. Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum  of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework.

MATH:

The 5th grade is continuing Chapter 7: Number Theory and Addition and Subtraction of Fractions. However, since there are so many skills covered in this chapter, we will have a test on the Number Theory portion of the chapter on Tuesday, March 25. The test will cover prime and composite numbers, prime factorization, rules of divisibility, Greatest Common Factor, and Least Common Multiple. The 6th grade will continue Chapter 6: Expressions and Equations.

SOCIAL STUDIES:

This week we begin the Theater Phase where each polis will practice and perform a Greek play.

BIBLE: We begin Unit 6 which focuses on Gospel Writings: Jesus’ Death, Resurrection and Ascension.

BIBLE MEMORY VERSE:

The memory verse for this week is  Romans 8:28 and the test will be Friday, March 28. Students will be graded on writing the verse accurately, including correct wording, spelling, grammar, punctuation and the scripture reference.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
