Dear Parents,
Happy Friday ! We have had another fun and busy week in Grade 5. The students are working hard and learning lots !
In Math we have completed our unit on Division and next week will be starting Algebraic Expressions. In literacy we have begun our new class novel ‘Tuck Everlasting’. In Science we have started working towards the project for the school science fair. The Grade 5 project is ‘Save the Grouper – Protect our Reef’. The students will be completing projects in pairs. I will send home the project guidelines next week.
Check out www.reef.org/groupermoonproject for more information on this theme.
I am really excited that PTF have kindly purchased a subscription to Tumble Books for the school. Please visit this site with your child. The best site for Grade 5 is Tumble Cloud Jnr. You can find the link at the bottom of the school website or use this link –

Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to help reinforce our class time –
1. How did you do on the division test ? Are there any questions you are not sure of ?
2. What has happened so far in Tuck Everlasting ?
3. Why is it important we protect the Nassau Grouper spawning site ?
Thank you as always for your cooperation in the education of your child !
