Wednesday 2/26/20 - Pink Shirt Day

-
This morning, Ms. Swinton and I attended a PD session about diversity in the classroom and Mr. Risdon led the lessons, supported by our substitute teachers. Students worked on division with remainders in Math and worked on describing "les animaux" in French. For LA, they worked on descriptive writing using their 5 senses.



This afternoon, students had time for unfinished work. For Pink Shirt Day, students wrote "I Am" poems, taking the perspective of either the bully, the bullied, or the bystander. Their work was very powerful! We also spent time designing Pink Shirts.


Overdue Work:
- January Quote
- Decade Writing
- 4 Saisons Vetements VJ
- pg. 90-91 (Math textbook)
- Mock Fur Trade reflection
- Electricity Visual Dictionary

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!
