Once again, this week has flown by!
A few reminders for today :
In math : the kids received their marked unit tests on Monday. Most students did VERY well. I always accept corrections for extra marks, and of course I offer any extra help at breaks for those kids who want/need it. I rarely do re-tests. Ask your son/daughter how they did on their test :)
We have moved on to Number Sense and will be looking closely at common multiples, factors, factor trees, prime factorization, and square roots.
In language : we are still working on our rotations and they will remain the same for another full cycle. I have also introduced Halloween poetry. The kids are either in partners or on their own, and have been asked to create a piece of spooky poetry. This is a writing activity, an oral and visual activity and a drama activity. I am hoping for MANY creative presentations!
In history : we have introduced Canadian Confederation. The kids will be examining the triggers (4 events) that resulted in the Dominion of Canada.
Google Time : please ask your son or daughter what "Google Time" or "Genius Hour" is. They have been working on their proposals for their projects - and many are very close to having approval for going ahead with them!
Dates to Remember :
Thursday October 23 : MADD presentation tomorrow morning at 9:00am - first two periods of the day
Friday October 24 : PA Day
Friday October 31 : Halloween poetry presented and Halloween party
I think that's all for now:)
Take care,
Miss Waddell
