We have had a fun, rainy, and educational week in Grade 5 !
In Math we completed Chapter 1 on Place Value. Please make sure your child showed you their Math test and had it signed by you. We then started our new Chapter today on Measurement. I will be sending home the first Star Math and Star Reading reports today with your child. This is one indication of the grade level your child is at, and will serve as a benchmark for me as strive to improve each child’s knowledge this year. Please email me if you have any questions about these reports.
In literacy we continued on with Storytown reading comprehension and in grammar looked at sentence structure.
In Science we completed the first unit – Cells to Body Systems, and next Tuesday they will have a Science test. A review of what they learned in this Chapter.
TUESDAY 30th SEPTEMBER – Grade 5 will have their pictures taken. Please make sure they have the proper school uniform on. Also on this day will be our field trip to Camana Bay.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to help reinforce class learning –
1. How do you find the Perimeter of a rectangle ?
2. What are the major organs of the nervous system ?
3. What is a simple subject in a sentence ?
