 Good afternoon Families!

I hope you had a great day! It was a busy day of learning here! Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather! We will likely be staying inside for recesses but in case we do not, make sure they have mitts, hats, snowpants, and jackets.

In PE, the students started the new unit of soccer. Keep up to date on the FIFA World Cup action! 

In Music, students are continuing to work on their Canadian artist work! We will begin performances soon!

We are almost done Thirst we have two chapters left. 

In Math, we are continuing on with decimals. Today, we discussed the thousandths place value and its relation to the tenths and hundredths place value. Students then practiced with their task and continued on in their rotation through our math stations.

In Writing, students continued to write their main event of their story and they will then begin to write their mains on the computer in the coming days!

During the afternoon, the students work through their reading stations, each with 20mins. We added a new one today and that one is library on their own. They are given the responsibility to go to the library without asking. 

During Word Work, students practiced with their group members the words that they are working on. They will be quizzed on the patterns tomorrow. 

In Science, we introduced the topic of Chemistry! It was interesting to see some of the ideas of what students thought chemistry was. We then discussed the larger themes of Chemistry that we will be discovering in our upcoming lessons. 


In Social, students are continuing on with their Province posters and will be presenting them soon!

I hope you have a great 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.
