Week of Nov. 24 - 28 Blog 11 (Grade 5/6)

 Please take note of the following:

SCHOOL EVENTS

1. A workshop for stress and Relation Spaces has become available for families. Students are weeks into the program and now it's time for parents and our school to learn about these initiatives. The proposed parent workshop would be on the evening of Wed. Dec. 3 in the early evening. Please email me if you are able to join the online workshop. A link would be sent at that time.

SCHOOLWORK AND TEST DATES

2. We are wrapping up our learning in Patterning this week. There will be a unit patterning test on Friday, Nov. 28. The list 3 Spelling test will be on Thursday, Nov. 27. The grade 5s will be writing a government quiz on the 3 levels of government on Wed. Nov. 26. Students are currently completing a spelling activity to practice the spelling words and the grade 5s are receiving a review page about our learning around the levels of government and their varied responsibilities.

3. In other classes, students are creating holiday cards for seniors in long-term care homes. The cards will be made in Art class. Some students are finished their artwork showing their understanding of lines in our Remembrance Day artwork. In literacy, we read the story, The Sharing Circle and are now going to look at character traits (weakness and strengths) in each of the animals. Students should also be tallying the reading strategies that are most helpful to them to understand texts when reading books. This assignment is due at the end of the month. We have been reading everyday at school. Students are also completing a mini assignment, Making Connections at school too. In math, students are having lots of fun creating patterns that can be found in nature and or in everyday life with classmates in a group activity.

Thanks,

Purboo
