This week in Fifth Grade:

I am enjoying reading the Historical Research papers as they come back to school typed.  I will send a copy of the paper back home with the students no later than Wednesday so that they can use it to make up their one to two minute oral presentation which they will give to the class on next Monday, May 3, and again at the Academic Fair to fair viewers.  The students may use one note card to write down key words to help them remember the order of their presentation.

The Fifth Grade students will be leading the Rosary at the all school assembly on Monday, April 19,  We will be praying for Pope  Benedict on the 5th anniversary of his election.  You are invited to join us.

Congratulations to our classmate, Sarah R., who won first runner up in the Archdiocesan Missionary Writing Contest!  Over 360 students in the Archdiocese submitted poems and prayers that they wrote about being a Missionary.

We had a wonderful time on our fireldtrip to Mill City Museum.  We will take time on Monday to review the role the Mill played in the history of Minneapolis.   It has been a true blessing to pray with your children during this Lenten season.  Each day we have reflected on one station of the cross.  I asked them one day which station gave their heart the most sorrow to reflect on; their answers were so honest and purehearted.  It is no wonder Jesus hears the prayers of children!

We are looking forward to our class fieldtrip to Mill City Museum on Friday.  Thank you to all of the parents who have volunteered to chaperone.  The students will need a small morning snack and a disposable lunch on Friday.  Thank you!
