The students presented their Science Fair projects. They did a great job.

 

The New Sour Source?

Math: We are currently working on the short Math unit (Number).  It focusses on multiplication (3 digit x 2 digit), division (4 digit / 1 digit) and rates and ratios.

Science: We are trying to quickly finish the Properties and Changes in Matter Unit.  This will hopefully be completed within the next 2 weeks.

Social Studies: We will start Social Studies once the Science unit is complete.  It will focus on the topic of: INTERACTIONS OF INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES AND EUROPEANS PRIOR TO 1713, IN WHAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME CANADA.

Science Fair: Projects are due next week.  We have been talking about some of the projects the students have been working on as well as the upcoming due date.  I look forward to see their final projects.

Welcome back, I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break. Our next unit in math is focusing on pattern. It will take about 2 to 3 weeks to complete.  Our main learning expectations are the following:

We are learning to:

• • identify and describe repeating, growing and shrinking patterns in real life 
  • determine and extend pattern rules for repeating, growing and shrinking patterns
  • make predictions and identify missing elements in repeating, growing, and shrinking  patterns 
  • create and translate repeating, growing , and shrinking patterns using using different representations
  • create patterns to show relationships between whole numbers and decimal hundredths

The School Board has informed us that students will be learning from home for the week of November 7th to November 11th. Work will be posted on the google classroom.  We have been told that Monday, November 7th will be asynchronous.  Starting on Tuesday, we will be starting some lessons synchronously.  We will follow the classroom schedule. I will post the schedule in the google classroom, classwork section. 

On Tuesday, November 1 our class went to the library to use the computers.  We all signed into our google accounts using our student usernames and passwords.  We then went to our google apps to access the google classroom.  The students then accepted my Grade 5 classroom invention.   On Friday, there will be work posted in our google classroom.  Students are to work asynchronously (independently) on the work assigned.
