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 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. We reviewed the theory as to what would happen to the properties of 2 substances once they were mixed. A discussion about what the individual properties of the substances were, what was observed when they were mixed, and the final properties were discussed. We determined that the properties of the mixture were different than the individual properties of the mixed substances.
In Math, we began our look at Place Value, discussing the position of numbers within a number. We will be working with place value 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.
