Place Value quiz next week

We will be having a place value quiz on Tuesday, September 20th. A review sheet will be started in class today and will go home this weekend. Students will have time on Monday to finish it.

Have a great weekend :)

Curriculum

Math: We have begun Unit 1 in Number Sense on Place Value, which involves representing, comparing and ordering whole numbers up to 100,000.

Language: This week is focused on grammar review as well as smaller introductory activities. Next week, we will begin our first major writing task of a personal autobiography. 


Religion: The grade 5 symbol is a rock. We are in the process of learning about the meaning of this symbol as well as decorating our own rocks to display on our prayer table.

Reminders!

Class Dojo: We will be using Class Dojo this year for behaviour monitoring. Points will be given and taken away on a regular basis. You can track your child's progress by creating an account. Each student received an invitation to give to you with a code.

Forms: Many forms have gone home in the past week. Please fill out and return the necessary ones as soon as possible. Reminders will be written in the agendas for students that are missing forms.

Blog: At the bottom of this blog is a live calendar that will have important event and test dates. Please refer to it regularly.

30 Book challenge

We have begun a 30 book challenge in language class. I have gone over the rules with the students so they know how it will work. Each student has received a log to fill out throughout the year. 

Good luck to everyone!!

Welcome Back!

I am very excited to get the new school year underway. I will be using this blog for the morning grade 5 group. Your child will have math and language with me in room 157 during blocks one and two. 

Please check this site regularly for important reminders and updates. There will be lots of newsletters going home this week, so please ask your son/daughter to share them with you. Looking forward to getting to know you all :)

Science Egg Drop Competition

The students tested out their structures last week to protect their egg from breaking upon impact. Students had a lot of fun! Here are the finished structures.

Food for Leaving Ceremony

Just a reminder that the grade 5s will no longer be bringing in food for the grade 6 leaving ceremony of Friday. Thank you to those that have offered to volunteer, however; your help will be much appreciated!!
