 Good afternoon!

In PE, the students played another take on a dodgeball game! Looked like fun!

In Music, we did Boomwhackers and played the instrument to some fun songs! The students and I had a blast. 

For Thirst we worked on our projects and the students answered some reflection questions and related themselves to our main character Minni. 

In Math, we develed deeper into the understanding of decimals. We learned that decimals are pieces of a whole and used manipulatives to help explain the concept. We took the ones, tens and hundreds to help understand that if we take pieces of them out of the whole that they are parts which then in turn relate to a decimal. The decimals are on the right hand side of the whole numbers and have a related place value to those of our whole number place values. We will continue to explore decimals. 



In Writing, students are working on finishing their middles of their stories. 

In our Health/Wellness class, the students were working on skits to help solidify the ideas of how to resolve conflict when it approaches them. 

In Social, we started a new project on our Canadian provinces and territories. Students are going to be doing some research about a province or territory they are interested in. They will research geogrpahical features, physical features, animals/plants, and interesting facts. They will use print and online resources to help them to find facts which will then be presented on a poster to the class. The students are looking forward to learning about their country. 


Have a safe evening!

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.

 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.
