Dear Parents,
We have had a great first week in Grade 5 ! In Literacy the students have read a short story, completed some comprehension questions and started their first piece of writing. In Numeracy the students have studied place value and comparing numbers. In Science the students have reviewed various science tools and discussed the scientific method – next week we start our first unit on Cells and The Body Systems.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend in order to review our class time –
1. Read 678,543,200 , then write the number in expanded form.
2. What is your topic for the descriptive writing ?
3. What is a hypothesis ? What was your hypothesis for the paper airplane experiment ?
Please check the Grade 5 blog each Friday for our weekly update.
Thank you for your cooperation in the education of your child,
Janine Nyyssonen.
