Science News:  
This month, the fifth grade completed a short study on the landing of the Perserverence rover on Mars.  We had so much fun, learned a lot, and are hopeful that the rover will help us with our unanswered questions about the "red planet".  The fifth grade scienctists and engineers have learned all about "The Scientific Method" and the "STEM Engineering and Design Process".  Now, we will move forward in exploring "Earth's Water" while applying the skills we have learned.  Do you know where all of Earth's saltwater and freshwater are located?  Our next topic, "Earth's Place in the Universe" is sure to be exciting! 

Religion News:
This month, we are continuing to focus on the sacraments.  However, our main focus is on preparing ourselves during the Lenten season for the coming of Easter.  The students have developed three Lenten promises and also choose a daily task to complete for the day upon arriving at school.  We look forward to attending Mass and continuing to deepen our relationship with God and Jesus.
