This morning in Math, we worked on different strategies to use mental math for multiplication. We talked about breaking up the factors (13 x 5 = 10x5 + 3x5), halving and doubling (16 x 25 = 8 x 50), and compatible numbers with compensation (19 x 6 = 20x6 - 1x6). We will continue working with these strategies and practice questions tomorrow. In French, students had time to work on their 4 Seasons Clothing (Les Vetements pour 4 Saisons) VJ page. They will have one more class period and then it goes onto the Work on Work list. We finished Chapter 12 of The Boundless and students had time to work on their storyboard. This afternoon, students had time to work on unfinished work and we voted on our reward - computer time. We will find a time soon to book this. We ended the day with more time to work on our mug art.

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!
