It was a busy week in the Grade 5 classroom!  We had a flurry of activity – we finished our first Math unit, spent the week learning about the Scientific Method with gummy worms, learned about and participated in the Terry Fox Run, and began learning the French alphabet!

Here are some things coming up over the next week:

Comfort Kits:  I have received many comfort kits.  If you have not sent your child’s in, please do so as soon as possible.

Class Store:  Thursday afternoon we will have our first class store.  THANK YOU for all the donations sent – we certainly have enough stuff for Thursday’s shopping spree.  We are always accepting donations – feel free to send them in over the next couple of weeks.

Short Week:  This week we have a short week – Friday is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Orange Shirt Day:  Thursday students can wear orange shirts and they will be participate in a variety of learning activities during the week that are centered around residential schools and their impact on Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

Headphones Needed:  We have started using our Chromebooks and students will need to have a set of headphones this week.  Please send some along if you haven’t already.
