Money Homework

Another 2-sided page has come home tonight, similar to last night. This is due tomorrow. 

Homework tonight

2 questions with a focus in money is to be done tonight and is due tomorrow. PARENTS: If you haven't already  done so, please provide your child with some coins to assist with their honework during this unit.

He's Baaaaaack!!!

I'd like to welcome back to the Clairlea community...Marcus!

Get those juices flowing...

Our next journey into writing will take us into personal narratives (stories). The purpose of this writing is for students to tap into an event, or experiences that they have vivid memories about.

Students will write narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.  Tonight it will be important for everyone to brainstorm their ideas and focus in on one event that is truly meaningful to them.  Bring ideas to class tomorrow!

Temperature test

We had our temperature test this morning. It has been marked and given back. Please sign and review and return.
Some who need a little extra pratice with temperature did not bring their test back today. They will get some more time work work with it and another chance to write.

Spelling assignment

This week, everyone was given a grid paper on which they will create their plant wordsearch with this week's word list. This is due Friday! 

Germination time!

Today we  started to germinate some beans and sunflowers....let's hope we see some tails emerging tomorrow. All they need is some water and warmth. Fingers crossed!

The celery stalk experiment...

Will they remain green or will they change?...we'll find out if the stems function is really to carry water to the rest of the plant. Stay tuned!

Homework Tonight...

Money will be the focus for the next little while.  Please use this as an opportunity to be counting change at home, adding up totals at the grocery store, figuring out the change...and basically making meaningful connections to the world. Tonight's math homework is due tomorrow!

Disection Time!

Fun in the sun!

Spelling list...all about plants

BRING YOUR BOOKS!

Tomorrow is our library period.  Very few have been bringing their books back for this time slot.  PLEASE remember to bring them back so we can make proper use of our time.  Thanks a bunch!

Please start collecting!

In a short while we will start a unit on capacity and mass. To aid in the delivery of this unit, please start to put aside clean, empty food containers.  We are looking specifically for anything that indicates the grams (g), kilograms (kg), millilitres (mL) and Liters (L)

Coming Home Tonight

Pizza Lunch form
Photo day form (this Friday)
Summer Camp pamphlet

Reminder - Scholastic catalogues were sent home a few weeks ago.  The original due date was... yesterday..oops!  I will extend the due date for this Friday, 18th. 

Temperature Homework..

Coming home tonight is a large page dedicated to reading the thermometer and identifying benchmarks for certain temps.  It is due tomorrow.
TIP: These benchmarks (freezing, boiling, body temp, room temp, etc) are important and everyone will be required to know them for testing.  

Wrapping up and Movin on...

This week we finished our geometry (shapes) unit and are moving on to temperature. Temperature is a fairly easy concept and we will be spending a very short time spent on it.  We will tie in probability to temperature and then will get right into Money before the end of next week.
A shapes test and quiz will be coming home tomorrow for review and signing.  Please look for it!

Minute to win it challenge...

To add to our Friday Fun Day, we played the famous game Minute to Win It!  A variety of challenges we put together and students raced against the clock to complete them.  Stacking cups was one, but I think it was TOO easy. Next time, we will stack with only ONE hand...our NON dominant one.  HA HA HA HAAAAaaaaaa!!! 

New spelling list - pioneer vocab

Our regular spelling program has come to an end. From here until mid June I will still be giving weekly words. This week, the focus is Pioneer vocabulary.  There are 2 activities associated with this list.  Number 1, definitions are to be provided for each.  Online dictionaries can be used for this purpose.  Number 2, each word is to be placed in a sentence.  This work is done on separate pieces of lined paper which have already been provided.  These spelling sheets are due next Friday, as usual. 

 

Marcus has filled his awesome chart!
