We are keeping busy in grade 5!

Humanities: Next Wednesday, October 9th will be the beginning of our What's Happening in Canada, Current Events presentations! We have a schedule posted on the wall of our class and each student should know their day to present. This is an at-home project, with the final day being Wednesday, December 18th.

We have also started a new project in a class called, Alberta Proud Commercials. Students have been put into groups and have begun research about our wonderful province. We will be creating props and students are welcome to start bringing in recyclable materials to class (please be conscious of size, nothing too massive).

In science, students have been exploring severe weather and how it impacts the world around us. Visual journal pages to represent student understanding should be completed no later than Friday.



The following videos were used to guide our brainstorming and discussions:

Currently due: Frog Pond Assignment. While exploring at the pond, students gathered evidence of living and non-living organisms and examined possible interactions. Using the prompts given students created a summary page that included a minimum of three areas from their notes.

Math: 
  • Continue practicing fact families.
  • Adding and subtracting 5-9 digit numbers -Use a deck of cards to build your numbers and create an equation. Decide if you are using addition or subtraction (remember that you'll need the larges number on the top when setting up the equation).
