Conversion

In measurement, we are now learning to convert between units. This is a helpful diagram for students to refer to.

This week...

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

MATH - Multiplication and division tests will be handed back tomorrow. In math, we are now starting the measurement unit. Please encourage your child to start becoming familiar with conversion. See chart below!

LANGUAGE -  grade 5s are learning about the elements of fiction (setting, characters, plot, theme, etc.) and will be starting narrative writing and an independent novel study.

grade 6s are starting a short poetry unit.

Student-led conferences will take place at the end of the week. See you then!

Math Tests

The Data Management tests have all been handed back. I'm still waiting for a few of them to be signed. I will remind those students today. There will be an opportunity for an in-class make-up assignment that is focused on mean, median, mode and range on Wednesday at lunch. I will present this opportunity to the students today. For those that received a mark lower than a B-, this will be mandatory.

This week we will be having a Measurement Quiz on Thursday. The focus will be on classification of units (mm, cm, m , km), conversion and perimeter. Please encourage your child to study this week. The most important thing for them to know is the following conversion chart!
