Classroom Patron Saint - Saint Veronica
O My Jesus, Saint Veronica served You on the way to Calvary by wiping Your beloved face with a towel on which Your sacred image then appeared. She protected this treasure, and whenever people touched it, they were miraculously healed. I ask her to pray for the growth of my ability to see Your sacred image in others, to recognize their hurts, to stop and join them on their difficult journeys, and to feel the same compassion for them as she did for You. Show me how to wipe their faces, serve their needs, and heal their wounds, reminding me that as I do this for them, I also do this for You. Saint Veronica, pray for me. Amen.

Welcome to Fifth Grade
We keep very busy in 5th grade. JA Biztown is a program that combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to this fully-interactive simulated town facility. The program helps students connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. Even though 5th graders are not old enough to drive, work, vote, or be the boss, it doesn’t stop them from operating banks, managing restaurants, writing checks, and voting for mayor at JA Biztown!
Literacy remains a primary academic focus. The students experience both small and large group instruction at their reading level. We implement the reading program called MyView. This program provides students with comprehensive, explicit instruction grounded in the Science of Reading. MyView allows you to teach Reading and Writing with research and rigor.
Our Math program is called Envision. It combines problem-based learning with visual learning. Students will learn more about math by solving rich, reality-based problems. They will gain a deeper, clearer understanding of math concepts with visual models and scaffolds in every lesson.
In Religion, your child will be expected to memorize the Apostles’ Creed and the Hail, Holy Queen. We will also be learning more about each Sacrament as well as The Spiritual Works of Mercy, the Ten Commandments, and the Beatitudes.
