 This was a busy week! 

As we enter the last quarter of our school year, we reconnected with the student code of conduct and our classroom expectations. We were reminded of adult and student expected behaviour within CBE schools and also the behaviours expected within NLS school and our classroom. The student friendly code of conduct can be viewed









This week we will be reviewing the I Can statements that are in the code of conduct.
We got to spend time with a very special guest on Tuesday...Elder Frank Turning Robe. He taught us through storytelling. He spoke of how we learn from the land, some traditions and tales, and of course answered many of our curious students' questions! 

Phys. Ed was a lot of fun this week. We played dodgeball, and also wrapped up our gymnastics unit with a fun gymnastics course.... 








We also FINALLY got  a ...





We became chemists this week in Science. We mixed liquids and observed changes. The students had to observe whether their liquids became mixtures or solutions, and make conclusions as to why. Some of the liquids we used were vinegar, lemon juice, vegetable glycerine, corn syrup, dish soap. The expermients were fun to conduct, and fun to observe. They got to record their findings on Flip Grid.





Math was spent working through some group challenges. The students were in groups or pairs and had to read word problems and match the algebraic equation that went with it. They also completed a algbera assessment.

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 ...
