Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well and are adjusting to this strange "new normal". I just wanted to let you know that the CBE as a whole is working towards creating a plan of action to support students over the foreseeable future. I don't have any major updates as of now, but just wanted to make sure you know that I am thinking of you all and will keep you informed as I become aware.

For now you can continue to utilize the grade 5 website for ideas, encourage your kids to spend time outside, help out with chores or cooking in the home (lots of rich math and literacy involved in cooking/baking), and trying to enjoy this bit of a forced break.

Don't forget to keep up with the social distancing and hand washing.

Here is a cool video that shows how soap can combat the spread of germs/viruses. You could even try this experiment at home.

Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns.

Keep well!

Mr. Mahon

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
