Letter to Parents 1/11/2013

Dear Parents,

What a fun event filled week we have had in Grade 5 !

The students did a great job of leading the Harvest Festival Assembly on Wednesday – I was very proud of them 🙂

In English they  successfully completed a grammar check up. In Math we have begun a new chapter – Multiply Whole Numbers. Now would be a good time for them to review their times tables. We have started Social Studies and are enjoying finding out about explorers and the New World.

Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to review our class time –

1. Using distributive  property how would you quickly work out 5 x 26 ?

2. Which explorer did you research ? What did you discover ?

3. What are some ‘giants’ in our lives ? How can we overcome them ?

Thank you as always for your cooperation,

Janine Nyyssonen
