Welcome to Monday!  This morning we started off with a review of fractions.  We then learned how to write mixed numerals and improper fractions.  We completed three pages in Math (up to the endow P. 25) and marked the entire second booklet.

During Socials, we finished reading Ch. 3, about the Hutterites.  We then did a review worksheet together with all the definitions.  Wow, the students did AWESOME!  I handed out a crossword puzzle but we really did not have much time to start it.

After recess we checked out the new school bus that has SEATBELTS in it.  We learned how to put them on and why we need to wear them at all times now.  It will be mandatory as of Wednesday.

We returned and started on Unit 10 from Spelling.  The students had a bit of extra time, so most got their worksheets finished in class and handed in to be marked.

After lunch the students went skating today with all the grade 5’s and Mrs. Robinson’s Kindergarten class.  Well done!

Homework:

1. Math- to the end of P. 25
2. Book Swap on Wednesday
3. Socials test on Ch. 3 on Friday
4. Science test on bones and joints on Thursday
5. Storybook Character Day -dress up on Friday

Have a great day!  Cheers!  Ms. Kneller

In Socials, the students pretended that they are Chinese Immigrants who came to Canada to work on the railroad.  Their assignment was to write home to their parents telling them what it was like in Canada.  They had to include things such as the Head Tax, prejudices, and the poor living and working conditions.  It was assigned for homework if not completed in class.

After recess we did the Spelling Test on Unit 9 followed by some IPAD time for those students who were finished everything.  We also had awards handed out for the Accelerated Reading Points.

During buddies today, the students played a Math game with the grade ones.  It was great to watch them help to learn.
