Welcome to Grade 5
The Grade 5 and 6 class ventured to Winkler Bible Camp from Wednesday, May 13 until Thursday, May 14. We had a great time participating in wall climbing, zip line and junk yard, slingshot, zorb track, and archery. A huge thank you to the staff at Winkler Bible Camp for making our camping experience fun. A huge thanks to our parent volunteers, Mr. Inyang and Mr. Francisco for coming with us.
In Language Arts, students continue to work on a weekly Spelling unit, with a pre-test on Monday, an assignment to complete, and a test on Friday with a bonus word and sentences to write. We continue working in our Communicating Skills grammar workbook. Students are also reading and answering questions with our comprehension stories. We continue to practice our handwriting as well.
In Social Studies, students have almost completed their work on their specific culture groups with their group members. Once good copies of the report and poster are completed, each group will present their findings to their classmates.
In Science, we continued working on Properties and Changes in Substances. Matter is anything that has mass/weight and takes up space. The 3 states of matter are; solid, liquid, and gas. Students completed a short booklet on the states of matter.
In Math, we are working on Place Value, discussing the position of numbers within a number. We will be working with place values up to 1 000 000. Mad Minutes will continue to be used to practice all the operations. Word problem solving takes place throughout the whole year.
