April 22 to 26

We had a great week in Room 22! This week, our school was lucky enough to watch an assembly created by the Me to We club on Earth Day. The best part of the assembly had to be the "Garbage Fashion Show"! Great job to the students who presented and/or participated in the assembly!

French:

We have started a new unit. We are learning the names of a human body in French.  We have worked on a work sheet on the different body parts, like the arms or the eyes.

Social:

This week we continued looking the Canadian government, including, the House of Commons and the Senate. We took a closer look at the roles each of these bodies have, as well as the people who work in each.

We also began our exploration of Ancient Athens. We looked at the Greek Myth of Medusa. Ask us what the lesson or moral of this myth is.

Science

This week in science we continued with our electricity and magnetism unit. Room 22 and 14 had a faceoff in a Jeopardy review game!

LA

We continued working on creating strong, interesting stories in LA this week. We began with planning an outline of our stories. We also wrote the first paragraph, which includes, characters, setting and the problem. Ask us what our new story is about

Math

The grade 5’s continued working with equivalent fractions and decimals. They are able to fill in missing numbers, e.g. 1/2 = x/8. We also worked on adding money. The grade 6’s continued working on equivalent fractions as well. The grade 6’s are able to complete a series of equivalent fractions. As well as being able to identify if two sets of fractions are equivalent. Next week the grade 6’s will be working on converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, and vice versa. They will also be working on converting decimals to fractions. The grade 5’s and 6’s will have a test on the material next Thursday.
