Hello!

We finished off our first full week of grade 5. It went pretty well, our class seems to have a good amount of hard workers, with only a few needing reminders. I sent out Online Consent emails on Friday, we need those sent in ASAP so we can start getting started on some of our projects.

In math this week we did a quick 3 day review of grade 4, and completed the math assessment to see where students are at. There seems to be a good range of learners this year.

In language arts we learned the parts of a paragraph: topic sentence, 3 to 5 ideas, and conclusion. We used this, and a word web, to help organize our writing. We then write about our summer vacation. From the few I have read so far, sounds like a lot of fun summers trips.

In science this week we looked at the scientific method; observe, research, hypothesize, experiment, record, and share info. We practiced this with a skittles melting experiment. We also played “Whats in the box” game, where students used describing words and their sense of touch to guess what in the box.

In French we learned how to say Hello, How are you, respond, and goodbye. The intro to French conversation. Students went around the room conversing with each other.

For art we created our personalized puzzle piece. I put our class puzzle together on Friday. [Inser picture Monday]

We got most of our beach day forms and agenda money in, keep it up!

Next week we will be focusing on Terry Fox and writing another paragraph. We will start our pattern unit in math (4, 7, 10, 13, 16), and label a Canadian map for social studies. In science we will experiment more with the scientific method.  Should be a good week.

Have a good weekend, and see you next week.

Next week we will be learning some math games, writing about our summer, and possibly looking into the scientific method and Canadian provinces.

Here is to having a fun and safe year of learning. If you have any questions, feel free to email me anytime.
