 We had a busy week of learning! 

We have continued work on our 5 paragraph essays. These are almost polished off and ready to be turned in. 

Math has been fun; while we continue to explore measurement, the students have completed some neat tasks for area and perimeter. They had to find the area and perimeter of their names, find the area and perimeter of Minecraft Steve. They showed the many ways that shapes can look with the same area 










Science: Chemistry is wrapping up. We worked on Ph scales. The students got to explore acids and bases this week. They determined if a liquid was an acid or base using litmus paper. They also got to explore the Ph Scale online here. 










In Phys. Ed we reviewed games that we have played throughout the year; soccer, basketball, hockey and handball. The students played mini games of each. We also had time this week for some throwing and catching games, and we ended with Freedom Frenzy! 











Word Work: we focused more on suffixes. The students learned spelling patterns for words with the suffix -ly . This suffix turns words into adverbs. 


Field Study Friday: We headed outside today to do more measuring taks. This students worked together to use measuring tapes and meter sticks to find the length and width of the large soccer field. Then they calculated the area and perimeter. This was a fun, tedious task!

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 ...
