Over the hump!

Hi Everyone,
We had some great discussions about math and language.  Also, some great collaboration between group members.  In math, we discussed about how to communicate about polygons using mathematical language.  We also discovered some rules when bisecting various quadrilaterals.  In language, we continued with determining important ideas using the history and development of the iPod.  In art, we used pressure shading in order to show a light source to build on our perspective drawings.  Finally, in religion, we read a passage from Matthew 18:21-35 to introduce our March Virtue of the month.  All in all, a day full of learning and collaborating.

Homework:

Grade 5

Math - p. 209 #4, and WB p. 69
Art - perspective and shading drawing
Religion - bring some old magazines

Grade 6

Math - p. 225 D-F, and WB p.68

Almost there...

Hi Everyone!

We had a good day in terms of your hard work.  We have to make sure we keep this up until the break.  Today, we reviewed polygons and how to classify them according to their vertices, angles, sides, and lines of symmetry.  In Language, we took up and reviewed determining important ideas and summarizing.  Then we talked about he upcoming media literacy project we will have starting next week.  Then, we made a reflection on the Northern spirit games and our wish for last week.  Great day, let's continue that tomorrow.

For Homework:

Grade 5:

Math:  WB p.68

Grade 6:

Math: P223#4-6 and WB p. 67

Reminders:  Lorax permission forms and sign and return you math quizzes for Chapter 7 with the corrections.

Have a great night!

Back on!

Finally, I'm able to post so here I am.  I hope you are all behaving well and are very productive.  I'm at a workshop to learn about digital art so we can use more technology for visual art.  Make sure you complete all the math assign today (all the questions and workbook), complete the science title page (not like the one I taught you how to make, but an artsy one), and the summary for Language arts.
Also, here are the pictures of your social studies projects!  Well done!

Happy Report Card Day!

Hi Everyone,
Although there isn't any classroom homework, there is one thing I would like you to do with your parents or guardians:  Have a look through your report cards and pick some things you would like to work on.  Then either during the interview or during class, we can talk about some ways you can achieve these goals.  Ideally, it would be nice if you could write this down on the report card section so that it's there as a reminder.  See you all tomorrow and Happy Valentine Day!
