Friday January 10

To start the day we had a short presentation from some grade 5 students from other classes about digital citizenship. Ask your child what digital citizenship means. They should be able to explain some of the big ideas around this concept. The information shared was very important. The class will be visited by Constable Gemma in the coming weeks for a more detailed presentation and question period about the importance of being safe and aware while using the internet and any social media platform.

 After this presentation, we had our Thank You Friday circle time and then worked on practicing the two comprehension strategies (summarizing, asking questions) learned this week. Students listened and followed along to the reading of Isabel's chapter and then shared some of the big ideas they heard. Then they had time to write their own summary of the big ideas from the section of text. Once finished this summary, they were to think of and write 2 or 3 questions they would like answered that helps them understand the text better. 

 Next the students worked to complete their water cycle foldable. Definitions, pictures, arrows and colouring were needed to be finished. 

 Reminders:
- report cards were sent home today
- dress warmly next week.....it will be very cold!

The challenge this morning was to think of something you would change if you could go back in time. It could have been something very personal to do with you, or it might be something more worldly to make our community or planet a better place to live. The day was very different after this. The class had music and gym as normal but the rest of the day was working cooperatively with room 53 and 53 to learn more about Phyllis Webstad and Orange Shirt Day. Together the classes heard a story book about the origins of Orange Shirt day and what happened to Phyllis when she was only 6 years old. The students made posters to display and advertise the importance of this recognition.  In the afternoon the classes were together again and had to make a group of 3 students, one from each class so students had a chance to work with new people. The afternoon task was to create a script of information to share with other classes. The whole group discussed what information was important to includ...

It was a great day at the Glenbow Museum. The students had fantastic programs in the morning and afternoon. They looked at art through the lens of one of the people or objects in the art using the senses of SIGHT, HEARING, SMELL, FEELING and I WONDER. Students used these observations and created poetry. It was beautiful. Students also had the opportunity to create their own art piece from the senses of SMELL, TOUCH, HEARING and SIGHT. Students were shown multiple exhibits and given opportunity to sketch their favourites or pieces that caught their interest. It was a great day and I thank the parent volunteers who joined us and made it possible.  Reminders: - no Evergreen Theatre performance tomorrow for parents or public to watch - there are no conferences next week - please read the previous blog for more info and check your school messenger

Morning math was proving true or false addition or subtraction equations that had an unknown in it. The unknown was given, but was it correct? The class then went to music and when back we looked at multiplying using the area model. We practiced as a whole class then each student worked to solve 2 questions. One question was a 2 digit times a 1 digit, and the other question was a 2 digit times a 2 digit number. This took us to snack and gym and then we had some personal reading time before lunch.  The number 7 should be on the other side of the box, but it still works out the same. Multiply each number by 7 and then add the totals together to find the product.      7 X 28 = ____________                                              20                            8 ...
