Closure Work starts tomorrow

Welcome parents to your School Closure Grade 5 Sturgeonites Dashboard. Any new updates will be posted here. Students unsure of passwords or usernames for Raz Kids (reading) or Prodigy/Mathletics, please email me at katrina.sturgeon@ocsb.ca

Please feel free to try out the posted activities for Math and Language (the two subjects that I teach your child). You will notice curriculum learning goals may be the same for a few days in a row as we practice these skills repeatedly or I post word problems, activities to do at home, crafts that link...all in addition to worksheets and recommended games or research tasks. Always check the learning goal and see if your child mastered those concepts.

I will try to find relevant videos for every lesson. This is easier in math than in language, but I will try my best. Its very tricky to teach online!

Miss. Sturgeon

Should I have my friend over for a Playdate? Nope.

Many are asking: can we still have playdates with our kids? The answer, bluntly, is no.

School Closure Lessons

Miss. Sturgeon will be creating a special tab (above) just like the homework section. It will be labelled SCHOOL CLOSURE LESSONS. She will be posting math and language tasks to do for the days missed, in addition to tutorial videos and lessons to watch via YouTube. 

Please check this class site regularly for work to help keep academics up during the Coronavirus Closures. Lessons will be simpler foundational concepts--- review, times tables, long division, grammar activities etc. that students can work on with minimal assistance, NOT the usual style of our classroom learning. Hope this helps! This tab will start after the proper March Break.

God Bless

Be Well

Miss Sturgeon

This Week

Valentines will be exchanged on Thursday, after our first block DANCE-A-THON! Our class will be dancing continuously from 9:55 until recess at 10:30.
If you are bringing Valentines cards or treats to exchange, please make sure you bring them for everyone. We will walk around and drop our items into decorated bags that are on each students desk. 
We have 28 students in our class. Please let me know via the agenda if you would like a list of all the first names of our classmates. OR, If I get enough name requests by Tuesday, I will post first names here on the blog for a short time, then delete them after Friday (for privacy) so they are not publicized all year. (We have very limited ability to photocopy)

Have fun! We have a busy week!
Monday- PJ Day
Tuesday- Outdoor Play Day (our Grade 5's are running the teams! So don't miss school!) and Sports Jersey Day
Wednesday- Crazy Hat Day
Thursday- Dancing, Valentines and Red, White, Pink Valentines Colours Day
Friday- PD Day

In math, students are doing very well with the current concepts! Here is a snip from the curriculum of what we are investigating right now:
