Dear Parents,
We have had a very productive week in Grade 5! In literacy the students have started grammar work on sentences, subjects and predicates. They have also completed comprehension work from Storytown and have had a speaking and listening assessment. In Math as we continue with Place Value, the students have been comparing whole numbers and decimals. The end of Chapter test for Math will be next week Thursday (26th Sept). In Science we enjoyed listening to a song that summed up The Circulatory System, and also learned about The Respiratory System.
On Monday (23rd Sept) the students have a music test on Essential Elements 2000 -songs #1-6.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend –
1. What are the major organs of the Respiratory System ?
2. Order these numbers from least to greatest – 5.2, 40, 40.48, 52.3
3. Ask your child to play the music songs #1-6 for you.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in the education of your child,
Janine Nyyssonen.
