We made it!  The students continued to work hard this week and we celebrated with a class party this afternoon!  We have a brief snapshot of what we have been doing this week and then some dates for April.

This week in Grade Five:

Math:  We finished up ‘solving for the unknown’ and will start fractions when we return

Reading: We read six more chapters of Amal Unbound this week. Our focus has been on inferencing and making predictions.

Social Studies: Our discussion this week continued to be focused on historical discrimination practices in Canada’s immigration past.

Science:  We looked at three ways to separate a solution and students made crystals this week.

Writing:  We worked through the skeleton of comparative writing and students helped me revise an essay I wrote comparing cats and dogs.  They will begin writing their own pieces when we return.

French:  We continued learning about months of the year.
