Basic Division

Monday Memo - Week of April 26th-30th

Language:  Students are sharing their rants with the class. It is an oral communication mark, which is sent back to them in Hapara.

We will start exploring Newsela, an app in the student portal. It gives students access to hundreds of interesting news articles, which we are focusing on for the new unit. The first one we will read is titled "Masks and Pollution."

Religion: We are reading and analyzing some different Parables. Students will explore the lessons taught in each one.

Math: Students began to write their multiplication quizzes on Monday. We will then move on to division of whole numbers this week.

Science: Grade 5s are continuing Matter. Grade 6s are continuing Electricity and Energy.

Week of April 19th-23rd

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

I hope everyone had a  wonderful Spring Break.  As you know, it has been decided that we will move to virtual learning.

We will follow a similar format as we did in January with the students using the same link every day to sign on to the meet (found in their student portal). Tomorrow we will meet in the afternoon at 12:50pm, but every other day after that will be 9:05am.

If your son/daughter does not have a Chromebook or other device to access the meetings and work, please let me know and we can arrange for you to pick one up from the school.

To enter our Google Meets, students are to go to the Student Portal and open Google Meet from there.  Our class link will be ready for them at class time.

I know this is not an ideal situation for all and I am very understanding that this will be a process.  I want this transfer to be as smooth as possible, keeping in mind the mental health and well-being of all students and families.  Please let me know if there is anything needed to assist in this transition.

Thank you and take care!

Mrs. DesRochers

Multiplication word problems

Since we have so many people away this week, I thought I'd share the word problems that we have been working through in multiplication. Students have been completing them in their math notebooks or on paper.

Different multiplication strategies - Lattice and Box Methods

Language:  Students have been excited to share their story endings to "The Troublemaker". 

This week they are writing a Rant. Students will present them after the April break for an oral communication mark. More details in Hapara workspace.
