Slides for Week of April 27 - May 1

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all still hanging in there and keeping busy! 
As most of you already know, schools will now remain closed until at least May 31. That means we will continue our distance learning for the month of May. Having weekly face to face chat sessions will hopefully lift everyone's spirits and provide clarification for homework tasks. I have sent invitations for the Google Hangout to student emails. You can also find the links in the slideshow. 

Here are the slides for this week.  SLIDESHOW APRIL 27-MAY 1

Have a great week 😊

Google Hangouts

A few of you have asked about Google chats and I am happy to say that we will have our first session next week. I apologize to those that were eager to begin sooner. Thankfully, I finally have my toddler on a regular napping schedule so I will run my chats weekly around 1pm.
The day of the week will be announced soon. I am currently discussing the weekly schedule with all other grade 5 and 6 teachers to make sure I do not overlap anyone. ☺

3D Measurement: Volume, Capacity, Mass Final Task

I have placed the Measurement Final/Consolidation Tasks in the Math folders in Google Drive. I have had a few questions about due dates. At this point in time, I will not be assigning due dates to any activities in all subject areas. I do not want to place any added pressure onto students and would like everyone to go at their own pace. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Next unit: Geometry

Wednesday math video

Here is a good video to help you practise conversion. Even though it says "primary" the speaker is doing junior level conversion between grams, kilograms and tonnes.
