Welcome to Grade 5
I can't believe we are already half way through April and looking towards the end of the year!
In Religion we are studying the bible to help us to prepare our minds and our hearts during Lent. We are examining different readings that help us to learn more about Jesus.
In Language Arts, we have started our second novel study, From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. This novel study helps us build our vocabulary, as well as our reading comprehension and writing skills. We are continuing our Spelling each Monday as well as working in our grammar books.
In Math we have started our division unit. We are looking at what is the meaning of division, and then we will review different methods of long division.
In Science, we are starting our unit on the States of Matter. We will be looking at the different states of matter, how to describe matter, as well as mixing different states of matter.
In Social Studies we have continuing to look at different European explorers. We are learning about why they came to Canada, as well as what happened when they arrived. We are starting a group project that should be completed in class on how to build a colony.
In French we have begun to look at some weather vocabulary words, some verbs that go along with weather, and how to form sentences using those words.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me via email, call the school, or pop in to see me any time after school!
