Please take note of the following:

CLASSWORK

1. Classwork and tests in all subject areas are being sent home this week as the second term has started. We are learning Geometry in Math class. Each grade has approximately 6 expectations to meet. The Grade 5s are looking at the different kinds of triangles while the grade 6s looked at the geometric properties of quadrilaterals on Friday. Videos are posted in google stream to review these math concepts. In Art class, students are working on a fun art / Valentine's Day task that has our favored candies. In Social Studies, the grade 5s are concluding presentations about how to solve a problem in Canada through the collaborative efforts of varied levels of government, private citizens and businesses. On the other hand, the grade 6s are working on identifying places on the globe using lines of latitude and longitude. In Language, students will receive spelling list 6 and are working on their Black HIstory Month comparisons. There are posts in google stream about this writing assignment.
