CLASSWORK

3. Some students will be reviewing fractions this week to review their learning and then rewrite their fractions test. Later today, I will be contacting families whose child will be rewriting this test on Friday via email. Otherwise, marks are steadily being uploaded onto google classroom. This week, we are continuing work around patterning. We reviewed the unit in its totality and are steadily working through patterning expectations in class. Students are working through coding assignments online on code.org too. In Socials, the grade 6s will be pausing and looking at the book, Bartlali's Bicycle which shares about a hero to Jewish people during the war. The grade 5s will be wrapping up their learning around Indigenous governing systems this week. In Language, the class is finishing spelling story 2 corrections. We are also recording next steps about our writing too in language folders. The Grade 5/6s are reading on epic, and or reading books from the library. We are looking at reading strategies to support comprehension. I will finish reading conferences this week. We finished our work around appropriate online behaviour.
