Science Project

The big science project has officially begun! Check for updates on our site, right here, for good websites to start out with. Many students have asked to do extra bonus activities, such as powerpoints, mini videos to play for the class, or creating items. This is excellent and encouraged! If a bonus creative idea wants to be done with a buddy, this is perfectly fine. Have fun! Good luck!

Homework April 23- 26

This week's homework will be a short assignment from the textbook, since it is a PD day on Friday. The homework will be expected on Thursday. Students not finished, or who haven't done the work will stay in at recesses Thursday to complete it and receive extra help on the concepts.

Text pages are:

Grade 4- pages 182 (all) and 183 (all) plus page 184 and 185 (all). It deal with measuring in meters and then kilometers.

Grade 5- pages 243 (read the top well, do the whole page), page 244 (all) and page 245 (read the top well).

Homework: April 16- 20

The last two weeks have been short weeks, and math worksheets were sent home instead of the usually textbook work. The 13 students who did not hand in their homework the last 2 weeks were kept in at recess or completed work at computer and gym times. This will continue for the rest of Term 3, as students are working on the learning skill of Self-Regulation and homework responsibility is a valuable skill.

On the weekend, students were told to study their 7 times tables for a check-up quiz Monday. The results of the quiz will be sent home this week, along with other small quizzes we have had the last month. Please take a peek and return.

This week, the textbook will be used again, for our Measurement unit.

The assignment for Grade 5 is : page 240 (all), page 241 #6-17 and page 242 (all).

The assignment for Grade 4 is : page 176 (all) and page 177 (all). Page 180 (all) and 181 (all).

Homework

The homework this week consists of different worksheets for Grade 4 and Grade 5. Hopefully they can be handed in this week on Thursday. A ruler should be used. If you do not have any rulers at home, please send a note and your child can bring home a loaned one from the classroom.

There is a Stations of the Cross presentation in the gym on Thursday, with our class taking the lead in the readings. If you wish to attend, please feel free to join us. The time is at the beginning of our third block, at 12:45, after students come in after lunch. The duration is roughly 45 minutes. Thursday is also our Bubble Gum Lenten fund-raiser for the Candleighters.
