Dear Parents,
Another fun and educational week in Grade 5 !
I loved all the costumes for Heritage Day, I was very proud that everyone participated so well. We talked about Cayman traditions and heritage, listened to some local music, designed a poster, completed our family tree and ended the day with a quadrille dance ! 🙂
In Math the class moved on to multiplying two digit numbers and multiplication patterns. In English they have prepared for their book report and wrote some wonderful poems. We watched a video titled ‘Don’t laugh At Me’ for inspiration with our poems.
Here is the link if you would like to watch it with your child

The book report is due Friday 22nd November.
Our next Math Test will be on Monday 25th November.
Here are some questions to discuss with your child –
1. What did you learn from the song ‘Don’t laugh at me’ and also from the book Out Of My Mind ?
2. Which multiplication property is this – 5x(2×10) = 2x(5×10)
3. Start a family gratitude list or thankful tree.
Thank you as always for your cooperation in the education of your child,
Janine.
