Last Full Week of October, WHAT??

Good day All,

It has been a packed week and the CAT – 4 testing is complete and we had great success!

This afternoon we watched How to Train A Dragon in celebration.

Outside of the CAT-4 testing we were able to expand our learning in writing algebraic expressions.

I am still missing some homework sheets (yellow duo-tang). Due to the CAT-4 testing and the up-coming SMART Goals meetings next week, we will use many of this week’s math classes to review some of the questions from the homework. The math quiz will be scheduled for Wednesday Nov 8th.

 

This week students in 5 A Science started a new topic in healthy eating.   Students selected their favorite vegetable and are now conducting an online inquiry on the best nutrient packed way to eat/prep that vegetable. Students in 5A will present their findings to the class on Tuesday Oct 31. If they are not finished creating their presentations in class, it will become homework!

  

In Social Studies we continue to build our longhouses, but took a break to talk about Remembrance Day.  On Thursday the students got to see some military gear and will host the grade 3 class next week to talk about the gear and a little about Mr. Watters’ military career.

Reminders:

Photo Retake Day will take place on Tuesday, October 31 st

    Hi Grade 5!

    Well done powering through CAT4 – watching a movie was a great way to decompress before a well deserved weekend!

    I look forward to hearing about your favourite vegetables!

    You are fortunate to have an opportunity to talk to Mr. Watters about his background – I will try to pop in for that period and be a participant!

    Looks like there are a lot of exciting things coming up! Keep up the hard work 🙂
