Today in Math we spent time preparing for our Number unit test by working on the Show What You Know review pages in the textbook. Students will be bringing home a study guide today; please support them in reviewing and practicing for this test, which is next Tuesday, November 12. Students are permitted to sign out textbooks overnight to aid in this preparation, provided that they return them to school the next day. Here is a link that also might be helpful, listing the Sheppard Software Place Value Games. (Please note: some of these games include decimals - students are only working with whole numbers at this point in the year, and Tuesday's test is only using whole numbers, but we will be spending time on decimals later this year.) The Top Marks website also has some fun games; they generally use smaller numbers than grade 5 students need to (we work with numbers up to one million in grade 5), but can still help reinforce some of the relevant vocabulary and concepts. Same with the place value games on Math-Play. Here are some rounding games too: Soccer Math, Pirate Rounding Game, and Rocket Rounding. These games again tend to use smaller numbers than we would in grade 5, but the basic rounding skills are still the same.
In French, we have returned to our unit, L'école. We read a story with some new vocabulary and students had time to catch up on their L'Halloween work. In LA, we practiced In Flanders Fields. This is sounding so lovely! Keep practicing at home :) We also worked on our November quote writing. In Art, students worked on their Remembrance Day zentangle and character collages.

Thank-you for your flexibility and enthusiasm as we begin this process of emergency distance learning! As I've mentioned, we are building toward the launch of our Google Classroom on Monday morning. This will be a very important space that will function as our online classroom. This is where you will be able to find important information, your assigned work for each week, and resources necessary to complete that work. When you first log in to the Classroom on Monday (through a link that will arrive in your educbe email that morning), the amount of work there might look overwhelming. I have decided to upload a whole week's worth of work at once, to allow you to work through it at the pace that works best for you. Some of the assignments have been split up by day of the week; this is a suggestion to help you decide what to work on when. However, it is ultimately up to you and your family how you would like to progress through. Feel free to do more than the one day's wort

Hi Grade 5 Families, Please keep an eye out for an email from me this afternoon outlining some of the next steps for learning adventures. I will also be phoning students over the next couple of days to check in and respond to any questions from the email. You need to know that you are missed at school but we are really excited about what lies ahead for us, and we will be sharing details with you through this coming week. I hope all of you have had a wonderful Spring Break! I have been using some of this time to catch up on my pile of books that I haven't had a chance to read. I hope each of you has got to spend some time doing some of your favourite activities!
