I hope everyone had a happy Family Day and a nice long weekend!

Today in Language Arts we examined two examples of writing and compared them for "showing vs. telling emotion". We then utilized what we had learned to enhance our stories. Tomorrow we are going to do a review of some literary devices and then utilize them in our stories to add description and detail.

In Math we utilized a place value chart to order and compare decimals. We will continue to practice this skill as well as converting decimals to fractions this week.

Students received their new spelling words for the week.

We utilized water colour to finish painting our landscapes. Look for a picture of them on our grade team website soon!

Don't forget to keep updated on our school website.

We are still looking for volunteers for our field trip to Safety Expo on March 11th.

Today was a very exciting day. We had Ignite, Music, Math, PE, Language Arts speech presentations, and an amazing guest Opera performance in the afternoon! In Math students finished up their first data assignments. That is the last amount of class time they will receive and will have to be completed when they are finished other work or at home. The task is due Thursday. We are still working our way through speeches. They will be presented over the next few days. Reminders: We have a field trip on Wednesday to Safety Expo which is help down town at City Hall and surrounding areas. Please return permission forms if you haven't already.  Grade 5 website: https://sites.google.com/educbe.ca/grade5atbhs/home

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Today we began our fractions unit in Math. Students started by creating fraction slips and then comparing fractions utilizing greater than, less than, and equal to with a partner.  In Language Arts students received their new words for the week. Students also continued  to type up the rough draft of their stories this week. The first draft of their story is due (typed up on Google Docs) by Wednesday. They will receive two more days to work on it at school. In Science we studies for our electricity unit test tomorrow. Students were given time to study in the class and ask questions. They were also given a study sheet for them to review tonight if they felt they needed a bit more time to study.  We also had Music, Ignite, and PE.  Mr. Berry created a website for our grade team. We will be updating the site with information about what is happening in our classrooms and resources that we will be using at school or for you to util
