 Good Evening!


Students had PE first thing this morning! They got to play in a circuit where they could choose which activity they could do. 


In Music, we are continuing to learn about rhythm and we played rhythm four corners! Was a great game! Students loved to guess the rhythm and move around the classroom! We then played a game where we clapped along to Mario in order for him to beat his villian. 


In Math, we continued to work on understanding that there are the same areas but different perimeters and same perimeters with different areas. Students are working well and understanding the concept of area and perimeter.


With our writing project, we continued to explore stories that we are going to use as inspiration. Today, we read the Rainbow Crow, a Metis story that dicusses how the crow lost its colour, its voice, and its beauty. We are continuing to read and look at books where the animals have a flaw and then gain a trait. 



We read Chapter 12 of Pax! Ask your child to summarize what's been happening so far!


In CAFE, we discussed what the C stands for. With CAFE, comprehension is important. We discussed what strategies we could use while reading to make sure we understand what we are reading. 



Our Team Building activity today, was we played Fruit Salad and Zip Zap Zop. Ask your child how we play and how much fun it was!


We continued in Social to learn about where we live and who we are! Today, we discussed identity. The students helped to pick out features of my identity and we wrote them as a class. I then got the students to think of their own identity. They then shared with someone else and compared and listened. We will continue to think of identity and how it relates to our geography. 



Please continue to bring in your Toonies for Terry.


Have a good evening!


Miss. Hillier

We are going from about 1:45-3:15.  This morning the students had their first music class. We learned about different vocabulary for music terms and about different instruments. We then played Rhythm Master! The students had a blast! We continued to work on our writing piece about either their summer vacations or what they are excited and nervous about in Grade 5. We are almost complete so it will be nice to hear what students did over the summer or what they are looking forward to this year. We moving forward we will be looking at how to create rich paragraphs by expanding and adding details.  In Math, we started our

 Good afternoon! A reminder tomorrow is Healthy Hunger day! Kernels will be dropped off tomorrow. Thursday is Festive Hat day!  In PE, the students are working with scooters and it looks like so much fun! In Writing, students are working on wrapping up their pieces of writing with their ending. We have discussed the different strategies to use when ending a piece of writing. So, the students are going to wrap up their stories by using two of these strategies, revealing the character's trait that they learn about themselves, and revealing the adaptation that their character has gained from its journey!  In Math, the students reviewed the decimal place value strategy that was learned over the last couple of classes. We then discussed comparing decimals and reviewing what the <, >, = mean when comparing numbers. Students then practiced this task with 15 questions.  In Word Work, students worked with their groups to find different words that followed the patterns of their words.
