Social

The class has been working with groups to research regions of Canada. Yesterday we practiced summarizing and presenting the information we found. We used the information to create a region of Canada info document.  We then used our research and that document to create our own multiple-choice questions which were used to make a Region of Canada Kahoot.


 

Science

We did a couple of hands-on experiments involving the properties of air.  We have made balloon rockets, used a hair dryer and Bernulies Principle to suspend pingpong balls in mid-air, used chemical reactions (baking soda and vinegar) to blow up balloons and made our own scales to measure the mass of air in a balloon. 


Language Arts


Students had the chance to practice presenting their Giver Final Projects. We will use our public speaking rubric to complete a self-reflection and set goals for improving as public speakers and active listeners. 


Math 


We have been working on classifying angles, Drawing lines of symmetry, and measuring angles. We will continue to practice using protractors to measure angles before we start drawing our own angles and shapes to match certain criteria.

We are excited to announce that we will be taking our grade 5 and 6 students to the Calgary Zoo on Wednesday, June 12th. We are also going to Drumheller Royal Tyrrell Museum on Monday 17th. We will be leaving at 8:45 and coming back at 5:15. Parents will need to pick up their students on this day. For each of these field trips, we will need three or four volunteers for each class. If you are available to volunteer for our class, please send me an email back so I can put you down on the list. We will also be having our school's celebration of learning on Thursday, May 16th. You can drop in any time from 6:00-7:30. Every class will have learning displays showing some of the learning happening in our classroom. In Science We have been reviewing evidence and investigation. There are a number of study guides and review activities linked on Google Classroom. We will be having a quiz on Tuesday.  In Math We have wrapped up our unit on area, volume, perimeter, multiples and factors. We wil...

  Thank you to everyone who came out for our celebration of learning. It was great to see so many families and show off what we have been working on. This week... **Math** We have begun our unit on data and statistics. We have learned about probability and different ways to express probability. We have also been learning about theoretical vs. experimental probability and have carried out some of our own experiments with dice, recording information using tallies in a table. We have also been learning about gathering data using surveys. We carried out our own surveys and represented our findings using tallies and a bar graph. **Science** We wrapped up our unit on evidence and investigation. We created review posters and matching activities that we shared at the celebration of learning. We also completed a unit quiz, which we went over and sent home to be shared with parents. Next week we will be starting a unit on classroom chemistry. **LA** We have continued our novel study of *Mani...

 Thank you to all the students and parents who met with me at parent-teacher conferences. If Parents were not able to join us or would like to arrange another time to meet, they can always reach out and we will work together to find a convenient time.  It's been an exhilarating week filled with exploration and discovery in our classroom. Let's dive into the highlights of our journey through various subjects: Science: Our young scientists have been hard at work delving into space research. They've dedicated their time to crafting informative and engaging slide shows about objects in our solar system, which they'll be presenting next week.  We also started reviewing and will be preparing for upcoming unit quizzes. I have included a link to a study guide that can be used along with Mr. Polsky's website and other links I have shared previously.  Mathematics In the realm of numbers and patterns, our students have been sharpening their problem-solving skills. We've be...
