Welcome to Grade 5
Grade 5 and 6 spring camp at Winkler Bible Camp is just around the corner. Looking forward to the activities that are planned.
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 have returned to 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 been researching their specific culture groups with their group members. Rough copies of the report have been completed. Sketches for posters showing villages, or pictures to go with the report are being worked on.
In Science, we continued working on Properties and Changes in Substances. As a class, we developed a theory as to what would happen to the properties of 2 substances once they were mixed. In groups, students were given 2 substances and recorded their individual properties. The next step was to observe what happened when they were mixed and then describe their new properties. Ask your son/daughter what substances were mixed, and their results.
In Math, we have completed our work with Division. A test will be given on Tuesday, May 5. Students are aware of what to review and have been practicing the steps to solving long division questions, as well as word problems. Word problem solving will take place throughout the whole year.
