MATH We started our mental math interviews for students to show their application of basic facts and number properties like multiplying by 10 and place value knowledge. If your child was interviewed, they should have a video uploaded on Seesaw. However, we weren't able to interview everybody this week, which means we will continue with this next week. We also discussed what conjectures are in math and we looked at a couple of multiplication conjectures. Students either agreed or disagreed with them, which they should have provided examples and non-examples for depending on their stance. We also wrote a quiz on multiplication on Tuesday. The actual quiz was returned to student and should be in their Seesaw. If students still need a bit more practice on it, I suggest going to some online resources like https://www.commoncoresheets.com/SortedByGrade.php?Sorted=4nbt5 OR tinyurl.com/khanrec (under the tab multiplication) Looking ahead: Continue with multiplication interviews, division, NEED to be very familiar on how to subtract SCIENCE Students presented their weather instruments construction. Finished projects are on Seesaw for your viewing. Students explained how they work, what units were used to measure their individual weather phenomenon. We also represented their daily weather observations in graph form. This week, we celebrated computer science week. We let the kids do Hour of Code on Wednesday on code.org, and students participated on a micro:bit workshop on Thursday. Cool stuff!!! Lastly, students are uploading their video and/or audio recordings of what parents, family, and friends define to be beautiful. Looking ahead: Clouds and cloud patterns to predict weather. HUMANITIES We have finished reading Fish in a Tree and have reviewed the lessons and moral from the story. Canada the story of us videos have given us an overview of the history and diversity of Canada. We are almost finished this series and will soon start our research into one event or Canadian that we want to learn more about. These will be presented in the form of a 2 minute TED talk. CENTRAL LIBRARY FIELD TRIP ON MONDAY Students will be going to the new Central Library on Monday to watch the Grade 6 students with their TED Talks on Space Science. Along with this activity, they will also be observing for what they consider beautiful in the new library. Thank you to our volunteers who will be joining us on Monday! Digital copies of the form and parent letter are attached to this email if you need an extra copy to print out.
