 Happy Friday!

We worked hard and learned a lot in grade 5 this week!

Announcements:

-Evaluation folder was sent home. Please sign the yellow page, remove all assignments and return the folder with only the signed page. I will send the folder home monthly so you can see what your child has been working on and their progress throughout the year.

-Some parents have been asking for supplementary activities, worksheets, websites, etc to help support their children in numeracy and literacy.  I will occasionally add a ''Supplementary Activities'' category in Google Classroom to offer learning activities that your child can work on should they require extra practice.

-We will be starting a Science project and students are asked to bring any art supply they can find around the house: tissue paper, pipe cleaners, buttons, yarn, beads, etc. If they can have it for Monday, that would be great! I will have limited supplies available to students who don't have any. Thanks in advance!

-The library is open! This year, students will be able to borrow books from the library by ordering their books online, thanks to Mrs Fitz! There will be no class time to order books; students should do this at home. Here is the link to order your library books:

Week at a Glance

Math: We learned to round numbers, estimate and add and subtract numbers. We also worked on word problems. There will be a Math quiz on the concepts above on Wednesday, October 7th. To practice, I added some supplementary activities in Google Classroom.

French: We worked on adding adjectives to our sentences to make them more interesting. We read, wrote summaries, worked on inference, and oral French.

ELA: We finished our Shoebox presentations and our Simile acrostic poems. Looking ahead, we are starting a novel study: Al Capone Does My Shirts.

Science: We learned about adaptations, food chain, and how to preserve the environment.
