Museum Monday

Hello parents and students, 

I am so sorry this was not posted last night because I got sick. 😟

It was an amazing and fun museum that we had today. All the curators worked very hard together to create a museum in the classroom including making signs, raffle tickets, paper chains, and flyers. It was also great to see so many classes, parents and even grandparents come join us to support us. Thank you for all your support. 

Here are some pictures from the event. 

**I have missed anyone please let me know I still have more pictures :)

Trying it out Thursday

Hello parents and students, 

Today, the children had the chance to spend the day working on their artefact summative because we did a 'democratic' vote this morning and so we will be completing our math pre-assessment for geometry. The students have to finish their artefact and write-up by today. They are getting very excited and have been working very hard. So we have decided to make our museum as open house. Therefore, on Monday, November 27 from 3:00pm - 3:30pm we are opening our museum to all parents! You can come see their amazing work and then you can pick them up directly from there (preferably the earliest at 3:30pm because they can then display their artefact to other people. 
**Idea for open museum goes to Dr. Lynne :) 

Here are some pictures from today (sorry I would have had more but my phone ran out of space). 

Also, the St.Jude's science fair is being held on Thursday, November 30.

Testing Tuesday

Hello parents and students, 

I hope everyone is having a great so far, we sure did. We changed up our day today and started off with UOI/language. The students all finished their planning and research for their artefact summative and have started either making their display information or their artefact. By tomorrow, all students should have their materials and will be building their artefacts. As a reminder, this is at school summative which is due this Friday. Here are some pictures of the students working effectively. 

Next, we focused on math and the students paired up to check their review answers from an answer key; the students that were not finished checked what they have so far and have gotten an answer key. Afterwards, I went through the hardest questions and key tips for tomorrow. The students then all got a chance to pick up extra review sheets for the different topics as well as blank review packets. 


Reminders/Homework

• Math: Study for test tomorrow 
• Here is the review packet answer key *look for notes in red
• Here are the practice worksheets in case the students missed any
• It is in the order we studied it in except the second last page is mat plans and the last page is about subtracting time. 
• Language:
• Read Chapter 14 of Percy Jackson 
• Spelling test on Friday - Spelling book due then too (Lesson # 11)
• UOI: Bring devices, ALL material should be in school to build for tomorrow 
• Science fair November 30

Good Start Monday

Hello Parents and Students, 

Today, we started our day off with reviewing Money to $10, 000 in math; where the students were estimating, it didn't matter whether the students rounded to 50 to 100 as long as they rounded both the numbers to the same place value. 

Next, we learned about temperature (°C) and we researched the average range of temperature in Mississauga. The students then worked on the temperature worksheet in class. For homework, the students have a math review packet, for tomorrow the students must complete page 1 and 2. If they complete the entire packet then tomorrow we will play math review games. The tentative date for the math test is Wednesday. 

In language, the students completed their literature circles for chapter 9-12 of Percy Jackson. They did a great job of discussing with their groups and adding extra details in their answer. 

In UOI, we completed a 4-minute brainstorm activity as part of the design cycle (artefact summative). Here are some pictures from the activity. 

We then created a class list of what our museum will look like next Monday. Here is a picture of the board afterwards. 

The rest of the period was spent on students researching and designing their artefact. Some students have even started making it! Students should bring in materials to build their artefact by tomorrow. 

Reminders/Homework 

• Math: Complete review package (tentative date for Math test is Wednesday, November 22)
• Language: 
• Read Chapter 13 of Percy Jackson 
• Spelling lesson# 11 due Friday 
• UOI: Bring devices and materials in for building artefact 
• Science fair November 30
