Badger Babble Update
WEEKLY BABBLE - It was an exciting week for the fifth graders. It started on Monday with the viewing of the solar eclipse in the afternoon. Then the winners of the Mighty Multiplier program announced. Congrats to the Eagles for winning the entire program. They knew all of their facts extremely well. Students continued working on their Science Fair projects, memorized their mystery state and capitals for the week, and reviewed for their Social Studies test on Monday. We celebrated Charlotte's birthday on Friday and enjoyed a fun-filled Badger Day in the afternoon. Students took their first mystery state quiz on Friday and did very well!
MYSTERY STATE - New to fourth quarter is Mystery State. Each day students are responsible for guessing the mystery state(s) based on a sheet of clues that is on their desk in the morning. After lunch, the mystery state(s) is/are announced. Students will locate the mystery state(s) on their official US Map and then go over its capital city. Then the students will watch a short video about the state (s)and discuss facts about the state. At the end of the week, the students will take a quiz on all the mystery states for that week. The first mystery state was North Carolina. Ask your child what the capital city is and watch the video about North Carolina by clicking HERE.
DECADE PROJECT - All fifth grade students researched a decade of their choice and created a special poster along with a presentation for Grandfriends' Day on March 22. Unfortunately, due to weather, GSLS had to cancel Grandfriends' Day. However, the students still did their presentations and did a great job. Please check out the photos of this project by clicking HERE. Students will present their decade presentations again for our rescheduled Grandfriends' Day on Friday, May 3.
HOMEWORK HELP - Mrs. Baker's offering a Homework Help time after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 pm. If your child is interested in participating, please email and let us know. This is a time to strictly work on homework and ask questions about subjects not understood. If your child would like to bring a snack, they are welcome to.
FOURTH QUARTER OFFERING - GSLS 's third quarter offering went to A Place of Refuge. This ministry supports the women and children who are served by advocates and those living at the Refuge House in Milwaukee. The house is a safe place that provides a loving, nurturing environment for women and their unborn children. The advocates encourage women to make positive changes in their lives that will offer opportunity, direction and hope for their futures. Thank you for supporting this mission. Fourth quarter offering information is coming soon!
BADGER DAY - Each Friday we celebrate Badger Day. This is always a fun Friday for the students. We introduced our newest hero, Hezekiah. Students are excited to learn more about this Bible hero. We are watching the movie I Can Only Imagine, a real life story based on Mercy Me's 2001 Christian rock ballad, this faith-based drama follows the emotional life story of the song's composer, Bart Millard. Click HERE to see the trailer.
MEMORY WORK AND SPELLING WORDS - Memory work will be on Wednesdays and Fridays, and your child's spelling test will be on Friday. Your child should have their spelling word list in their binder as well as their memory work for the week.
