These are the 5^th grade teachers: Miss Jaroszewski and Mrs. Staller. They both love teaching 5^th grade. Miss Jaroszewski started teaching the 3^rd grade. She said, “I wanted to teach 3^rd grade but I had to do what was best, so I moved up to 5^th grade and now I love it.”

In 5^th grade one reading class is just finishing reading the novel The Witch of Blackbird Pond by: Elizabeth George Speare. In the top right corner is what the 5^th graders made. They are the characters of the novel. Now they are reading the novel The House of Dies Drear by: Howard E. Rollins Jr. After they read that they will be watching the movie. The 5th graders said that like The House of Dies Drier better. In the other reading class they are reading The Island of Blue Dolphins by: Scott O’ Dell. In religion the 5^th graders 0are learning about the vocations. In the top left corner are some examples of the cross that they made. The 5^th grade is also learning calligraphy. Mrs. B taught them that. The 5^th graders said that they loved calligraphy. They said that they loved doing it, even though it was hard at first it got easier when time went on now all of they want to do is write calligraphy all the time. In Math one of the classes are learning how to do cross multiplication. In the other math class is learning fractions. In Social Studies they are doing a president report. Each of the students have to pick a president and write a report on it. Then in computer they will do a power point presentation on their president. In English they are learning adjectives. In science they are learning about the body parts. In gym they will be running the mile run outside. In Spanish they will be learning about the classroom objects like a flag (la bandera), a ruler (el reloj), or a pencil (el lapiz). In music they will be learning a new song to sing in front of the church congregation. And in art they are studying the painting “Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh.
