Dear Parents,
Happy Friday !
It has been another busy and enjoyable week in Grade 5 !
Thank you to each of you for coming to meet with me this week to discuss the progress of your child. Do not forget you can email me anytime if you have any questions.
In literacy this week we have continued on with the Global Read Aloud book and connected with a class in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The students have also studied common, proper, singular and plural nouns.
In numeracy we examined how to work out the volume of prisms, and then reviewed area, surface area, perimeter and volume.
We completed Chapter 2 in Science – Classifying Living Things.
On the 21st November will be the ‘International Night’. This will be a fundraiser for the school – as teachers, students and parents work together to create a class booth. Grade 5 will be doing Great Britain. We will study England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There will be food samples and displays on our table to represent the UK. I would LOVE your help with this ! If you are good at building, cooking, or feeling artistic – please let me know if you are willing to help and if you have any ideas. THANK YOU !
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to reinforce class time –
1. How do you work out the Volume of a Prism ?
2. What is a Proper Noun ?
3. How does God communicate with us ?
Thank you as always for your help and cooperation in the education of your child.
