 Upcoming dates: 

Oct. 9= Last day for apple orders

Oct. 10 = Kernels popcorn day (orders due tomorrow) 

Oct. 14 =No school for Thanksgiving 

Writing: 

We worked on editing a mini letter, and we continued writing our mini books. We started a new project; Life Maps. We had to brainstorm really important events in our life that we would put onto our map. 

  

We created little comic strips/movie strips based on Out of My Mind. Ask me about the 4 pictures I added to my strip. 

Math: We are working on decimal numbers and we practiced expanded form. We worked on changing decimal numbers from word form into standard form. 

  







Social Studies: We partnered up and looked at the Canadian Map but we had to practice using the scale. The scale measures the distance from one place to another. 

 

Phys. Ed: We played a game that Mr. Newton created, it has no name but it is about catching and throwing. Ask me how to play it! 

 

 

Music: We got to read a book about an indigenous instrument. It is an indigenous drum. We watched a video about Hoop Dancing. We played drums in a circle. We created rhythms with the boom whackers. 

Field Study Friday: We went outside to draw nature things. We got to draw little doodles using natural items and magnifying glasses. We are working on creating Nature Journal pages. 

         

Makerspace: We had a task to do based on Out of My Mind. We had to make something that would include Melody too, like a swing for wheelchairs, inclusive playgrounds, or wheelchairs that helped her communicate. There was even a wheelchair spinner! We did a Gallery Walk too! 

    

Quote of the Day: What you do everyday matters more than what you do every once in a while.

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 ...
