Virtue of the month: Patience is within the virtue of Fortitude which enables one to endure difficulties for the sake of what is good. Patience means to bear present difficulties calmly. When I am angered or inconvenienced in any way patience gives me the grace to respond with kindness so that I don’t waste any of the opportunities to grow in love.
The saint associated with this virtue is: St. Gianna Molla

Mathematics
Number Corner for May: Activities in May focus on numbers up to 120, with students working with the number grid for addition and subtraction in both the Calendar Grid and Computational Fluency workouts, and practicing forward and backward counting by 10s off the decade during the Number Line workout. The Calendar Collector encourages students to extend their concepts about fractions to quarters and dollars by thinking of a quarter as one-fourth of a dollar. They collect a quarter a day and group the quarters into dollars to see how many dollars they can collect before the end of the school year. Counting the days in school continues this month with an eye toward 200 and also summer vacation.
Bridges: Unit 8 Module 3 offers a full-fledged science project: students learn to fold and fly simple paper gliders, construct Unifix cube trains to measure flight distances, and create tally charts to show the flight data collected by the entire class. The teacher then invites students to modify their original gliders or make new ones with the intent of improving their flight distances. They collect and analyze a second round of data to see whether or not their glider modifications made any difference. These six sessions put into play a great deal of math and science, including concepts of change in location.
