This week in class: 

Badminton has started in Phys. Ed!
The students continue to practice xylophone in Music! 







Social Studies: The kids have been working with partners to do a comparative research project on the Inuit, the Haida, and the Huron. The information about the Huron group is all brand new, independent research. The students are focusing on comparing their home/shelters, hunting techniques, and whether or not the groups live in a permanent location or move from camp to camp. 




Math: 
We started off the week with an interactive math activity. Each student was given a piece of yarn, they had to estimate the length of the yarn in centimeters, then measure it, and figure out how much more yarn they would need to make a length of 100 cm. Without talking, and only observing their classmates yarn length, they had to guess who held the other half that they were looking for! 

We have also been working on writing algebraic equations for growing patterns...

We are starting to put this information into charts, so that we can use the information to create a graph and view the trends! 

Art: 
We have been BUSY creating beautiful gifts for some special women in our lives....can't post photos yet! 

Have a WONDERFUL weekend. Enjoy the sunshine, everyone.

Important notes:  1. Library starts next week 🩵   2. Terry Fox Run = Next Thursday 🏃 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We focused on Growth Mindset this week.  After watching some videos on Growth mindset, and learning about ways we can practice this in our daily lives, we created skits!  We learned a new word game...Maybe I can teach the family. It's called, "Camping Trip!" Ask me about it.  We are working on using the sound wall to spell big, hard grade 5 words. While working on vocabulary this week, we learned the meaning of the prefix "trans; across or beyond". We used this knowledge to make sense of words like, transcribe, transportation, translucent.  We are also making a "What if Everybody Did That, Vol II" - ask me about it!  We are working on Place Value in Math. We learned a game called Junk It, and we are completing daily decimal practice to coun...

  We explored some nature kits to prepare for our Field Trip next Thursday. We observed castings of skulls, foot prints, scat, and feet.      In Phys. Ed we are doing gymnastics! We practiced travels, balances and partner balances.          We celebrated Cultural Diversity Day on Wednesday. We designed flags, and many students wore their cultural clothing.            This linked well to our Social Studies learning, about how Canada is so diverse now, but how did that come to be?! We are learned about Samuel De Champlain (the father of New France), John Cabot and Jaques Cartier. They claimed land for England and France. This started the European settlers... We are working on Historical Skits about this too!  In Math we are working on Area and Perimeter, and discovering how 2 shapes can share the same area but have different perimeters.  We also focused on finding the measurements of sides when given the ...
