Welcome back everyone<br />
<br />
I hope you had a grand March Break. A few quick notes. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>In Mathematics, we are starting our Geometry unit.</li>
<li>In Language, we are focusing on paragraph writing.</li>
<li>Friday we will have spelling sentences for the first time in awhile. </li>
<li>Friday night the Parent Council will host a movie night in the gym. Doors open at 6 pm. The movie is Small Foot.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
It is going to get wet outside as the snow melts. Please have your child put extra socks in their backpack.<br />
Mrs. T.<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Welcome to Spring! (if only it were so)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Apparently our groundhog did not see his shadow, so spring is right around the corner! Since there is still plenty of skiing to do and Winterlude has just started, I guess a little more winter is ok. Hopefully the -30 days are behind us though.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Last week, our school had the snowshoes and our class was one of the few who had a chance to get out on them. The students ran a few races and just enjoyed being outside.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">This week:</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Language: The students are finishing their winter scene descriptions. In reading the students will focus on comprehension and retells. Our poem this week is about Black History Month. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Math: We started Data Management last week and this week we will make bar graphs, pictographs and discuss picking a scale for a graph.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Health and Media Literacy: We will finish our Healthy Meal posters this week and put them up on display.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Science: We will start our next science unit this week. Strong and Stable structures. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">That is all for now. Stay warm and enjoy the umm....spring?</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving this past weekend. The students seemed ready to go this morning. Today we reviewed how to login to the students ocsb google accounts. Ask your child to show you how they login and their new password. We also logged into the Raz kids accounts today.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">In Math, we will make a 1000 tomorrow and then go over the practice Assessment for Place Value. Thursday, there will be the assessment for the place value unit. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Today the whole school gathered for a short Thanksgiving liturgy. The choir did a wonderful job and performed two songs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Please remember that tomorrow is Picture Day. This is for individual photos only. Our class pictures will be taken at a later date.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;">Wow! I can't believe that Thanksgiving weekend is fast approaching. It has been busy here since Meet the the teacher night. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">In Language and Religion this week we are focusing on our Autumn poem, Thanksgiving and Digital Citizenship. We know that we are very lucky and blessed to live here. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">In Mathematics, we are exploring rounding numbers to the nearest tens and hundreds place. We are getting close to completing our Place Value unit. There will be a short assessment Thursday next week. I will send home a sample assessment Thursday this week. It is due back next Wednesday. We will correct it together on Wednesday and then we'll be ready for the assessment the following day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">In Science we are exploring Forces. This week we discovered different types of forces i.e. gravitational, magnetism, muscular, electrostatic, and friction. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">The October Book order was due Oct 2. Some students requested that I give them one more day, so please return any orders by Oct. 3. Please remember that I can not accept cash. You may either pay online or send in a cheque with your order.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Finally, looking ahead to next week. We will have our first whole school liturgy to celebrate Thanksgiving on Tuesday, October 9 at 10:30 in the gym. All are welcome.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre;">they used proper sentence form (i.e. capital and period). Bonus points for a sentence</span><br />

We will focus before Christmas on the metric system with a concentration on linear measurement. By the end of the unit Grade 5 students should be able to solve problems requiring conversion from metres to centimetres and from kilometres to metres. For example 5.1 m is _____ cm. To prepare for the unit the students completed a brief pre-assessment today. I will send the pre-assessment home this week. Many students are unclear which is smaller a m, cm or mm. During the next few weeks encourage your child to measure the size packages, ornaments, or how much wrapping paper might be needed to wrap a gift etc. </span></div>

<li>Some of the students feel they need a little more time to prepare for the quiz. We have postponed the Math quiz until Monday.</li>
<li>In other news, there will be no Booklog next week. I know there is a great deal going on and by the end of the week everyone will be exhausted. </li>

The quiz is on decimal numbers to the hundredth (0.99). A math review will be sent home Monday. Ask your child to bring it back on Wednesday and we will correct the front page. If they are still unsure about one of the decimal topics we covered this is the time to let me know. They can complete the back of the sheet for Thursday and we will correct and go over the answers to the back then. The quiz will be the same types of questions with different numbers.</span></div>

Many students seem to write their reading responses quickly and say they are done without checking over their work.

Don’t forget to check the school Twitter account or the school website for pictures from the day.</span></div>

This week we will continue to explore decimal numbers. Our learning goals will be to compare numbers with decimals (i.e. 4.32 is greater than 4.3). We will work on ordering numbers with decimals from least to greatest. We will round decimals to the nearest tenth or whole number. We will begin adding and subtracting decimal numbers early next week. This will include adding and subtracting money. There will be another math test on place value which will include decimals next week. I will confirm the date of the test and send home a pretest for students to complete before hand. Looking ahead our next math unit will be Patterning.</span></div>

Tonight your child will bring home the hamburger outline to help them write the paragraph this week for their BookLog. The object of the weekly reading assignment is to improve the students writing skills and ability to answer a question. It also allows the students to demonstrate they understand the books they are choosing to read and that they are engaged. By Grade 5 all students should be able to write a paragraph that has proper punctuation and capitalization. Encourage your child to edit their BookLog before submitting it on Friday. </span></div>

We will continue to work in our Digital Citizenship unit next week. The October BookLog will be shared on the Google Drive of each child. A hard copy will also be available for those who prefer to do their homework the old fashion way. We will focus this month on writing clear, informative Reading Response paragraphs. </span></span></div>

Our Math review this week will be a practice test. This review is due back on Wed. We will correct the review together. I highly recommend that your child complete the practice test and be ready to correct it on Wednesday with the class. I will also send home the math journal for your child to review before the quiz. </span></span></div>

The past two years I have provided a Math review sheet instead of Homework and left if up to the student (and or parents) decide if they wish to complete it. The sheets are corrected on Friday usually, except on weeks when there is a math quiz. On test weeks the math review is usually a sample quiz or pretest which we correct the day before the quiz. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #990000;"> Today I handed out the first homework assignment. As a rule,I try to hand out the homework for the week on Monday and it is due back on Friday. Usually there is a math review sheet which will focus on the topic we are working on in class and also some questions from previous math strands. On the back is a Problem of the Week which we will correct in class on Friday. I have also included a short language sheet this year. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

A grade 5 student should be reading at home 15-20 min a night. The students in Grade 5 will receive a monthly Reading Log. I ask the students to bring back the Reading Log each Friday so I can check that they are on track. </span></span></div>

I ask that the work be done by Friday but if your child finds it easier to read 80 min on the weekend then do so. Just write on the Reading Log when you read.

This week, the Grade 5 students will finish the Patterning and Algebra unit. Friday there will be a Patterning quiz. As always, I have made a practise test for the students to complete. The students were give a hard copy of the review sheet today and I have also shared the review to their math folder in Hapara. The review is due back to school on Thursday so that we can go over the questions in class. Students who complete the review and participate when we go over the work are always more prepared for the quiz.</span></div>
