We had a great week here in the Grade Five classroom.  Students worked hard to ‘solve the mystery’ and earn their Sweet Treat. They enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate yesterday!  Here’s a snapshot of what we worked on this week:

Math: students continued working on double digit multiplication.  We will take a break from multiplication for awhile and begin learning about division next week.

Writing:  Students are finishing up their first writing piece on their favourite season.  We will spend some time editing on Monday and then work on a plan for our next writing piece.

Science:  Students finished up their learning on Simple Machines and we did some whole class studying for our upcoming Quiz on Tuesday.

Health/Bible:  Students completed their 2021 goals that correlate with the BC Core Competencies.  They also completed an end of term self reflection and we spent some time working on classroom citizenship.

Reading: Wonder folders were handed in today and we spent some time tying up a few odds and ends to wrap up Term 1.

Social Studies: We are continuing our learning about Canada’s government systems. Students reflected on how elections have changed throughout history and whether or not they would ever want to put in the work of being a candidate.

Here are a few things coming up…

Science Quiz on Tuesday:  A quiz sheet was sent home on Tuesday.  Please remind your child to prepare for the upcoming quiz.

Jersey Day on Wednesday: Students can wear any team jersey on Wednesday with casual bottoms.

Noon dismissal on Friday:  Friday is a half day and we will dismiss students at noon.

January Dates:

Jan. 22 – Knights Day & Early Dismissal for K-12
