Weekly Update
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.
