This week was our student teacher Ms. Brown's last week. We have been so grateful to have her in our
class and be a part of the interesting work that she has been doing with us.
In math we practiced our multiplication with another 5 minute frenzy on Friday. There are still a lot of
students in grade 5 & 6 who can practice their multiplication at home. Here are two links that may be
helpful:

on our visual spacial skills.
It was Code Canada week, in grade 5 math we worked with Microbits (is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors and many input/output features that, when programmed, let it interact with you and your world). Students went through some tutorials such as making their name, making dice and challenging another group to guess their number. In grade 6 math they were working on area and perimeter of irregular shapes.
We took advantage of the nice weather and went on a walking field trip to the Nickle Gallery, to look at two different exhibitions. Students used Feldman’s criticism to look at art.
In Science, we have continued to work on Sky Science, analyzing graphs and looking at the seasons in relation to Earth's rotation and tilt of it's axis. A reminder that students should be looking at the night sky and recording thier observations on their moon journal.
In Social we are continuing our work on how government was structured in Ancient Athens.
