Math

We have been working on our science fair projects. We typed up our experiment, research, and the hypothesis. We also made our charts and graphs. We are all looking forward to the Science Fair during Catholic Schools Week!

Language Arts

In the second quarter, we made and presented Sioux Pictograph Stories and Sioux Symbols. For this activity, each person had a partner. The partner read your story and you pointed at the pictographs. We worked on different kinds of sentences after the Sioux activity.

What’s Keeping Us Moving

Gym/ PE
In Physical Education, we are doing all sorts of games like Three Step, Dodge-ball, Fortress ball, and Paintball.
Three Step Dodge-ball is dodge-ball, except there are three balls and if you get a ball, you get three steps. The maximum amount of steps is nine.
Fortress ball is when you get twelve hula-hoops, and set them up into two basketball-shaped circles. There are two sides that do this. When everyone is ready, a whistle is blown and the two sides throw balls at the other side’s fortresses in hopes of knocking them down before theirs are knocked down. The first one to get all their hoops knocked down loses.
Paintball isn’t actually with paintball guns, but with dodge balls. Like Fortress ball, it has two sides that throw balls at each other, except the goal is to hit the person instead of an obstacle. The reason it is called paintball is because it has tons of stuff to hide behind instead of being out in the open.

In Art, we made a pointillism picture. Pointillism is where you use q tips and you dip the q -tip in paint and dot it on the paper. Also, we had to use only the primary colors, and if we wanted to use any other colors, we had to mix the colors on the paper. Over all, class has been so fun.

Social Studies
By: Maya Butschlick
In social studies, we have been learning about different African tribes and about their culture. We did a project where each one of us had to choose an African tribe and create a mask of the tribe. We also had to make a half page report about the tribe and the mask, and what it’s used for. We have been learning about ancient Greece, its people, and its culture. We are learning about Greek mythology, art and architecture, science and math, poetry and drama, and their philosophy.

Music
By: Morgan Goeden
In music class in the 2nd quarter, we started to practice for our Christmas concert. For music, we combine 5th and 6th. One of our songs, Feliz Navidad is part Spanish and part English, so we had to learn the Spanish parts. O Tannenbaum is German. We practiced over and over again to get it right and the pronunciation right. We watched a video also, to get the words and pronunciation. Now we are playing songs by blowing over a bottle. We are in groups. Each group has to figure out how much water to put in the bottle to make a higher pitch or lower pitch.

Christmas Concert
by Sam
In the concert, I think we did awesome. The 4k kids were great with the bells. The second graders did the nativity scene. They did great. The rest of our songs were fantastic.
