Hello Rising 5th Grader!

Relax and read, friend!

Please, choose one book from the list below to read over the summer. While you read your selected book, use sticky notes to mark important facts (important facts listed below as questions.) Leave the sticky note on (and sticking out of the book slightly) marking the page in your book where you found that important information - you will be using plenty of sticky notes! Be ready to discuss your book with the class. Bring your book with you so that you can complete a graphic organizer during class time. Please have your book with you the first day of school. 

You can read this book by yourself or with help. You should find a relaxing place and some quiet time to do this project at different times during the summer. Layout in a shaded hammock, snuggle up on a bean bag or on your bed, sprawl out in the shade at a picnic - enjoy your reading time!

I look forward to discussing your books with you in our Language Arts classes when you return. (Have a great read! - Best, Mrs. Keusenkothen)

Mrs. Mann and I are looking forward to being your teachers next year! Please do your best to do fun activities this summer. Get plenty of exercise and sleep for your body. Don’t worry about your brain not getting any exercise, your IXL math practice, this reading, and a little conversation with God should give it just the exercise it needs for you to stay healthy. We look forward to seeing you before Labor Day, (Feast day of St. Gratus.)

 Summer blessings, 

 Mrs. Keusenkothen & Mrs. Mann

Dear Rising 5th Grade Students,

Welcome to 5th Grade! I will be teaching math and science to you during the 2020 - 2021 school year. You should be working on the IXL Math Program as a review of the 4th grade skills.

Students should work on IXL math 3 days a week for 15 - 20 minutes per day. The students should complete the 20 assigned skills with a smart score of 85 (not a percent score). After the student reaches a score of 85, then he/she may challenge himself/herself to attain a higher smart score up to 100. These questions would be challenge problems. Once a student completes all assigned skills with a smart score of 85 or higher, then the student may select other skills to complete if desired. Please do not take the diagnostic test.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a relaxing summer.

Thank you,

Mrs. Mann
