Monday, September 9
Welcome to the second week of fifth grade, and our first Monday of the school year!
This week we are starting to shift more into curriculum related concepts, in addition to wrapping up some community building and "get to know you" activities. In math, we began looking at representing and rounding numbers, as well as creating a variety of number sentences. In science, students started thinking about what characteristics might define a wetland, and what the differences between living and non-living things are.
We also began our time capsules with a letter to our future selves. We will be adding other artifacts throughout the week.
It was wonderful to hear from the first four students who shared their All About Me bags today. Students are already finding so many connections and shared interests with one another! If your All About Me bag was not complete for today, please make sure it's here for tomorrow!
Please return any remaining forms from the package by the end of the week. Remember, all coloured forms come back, with the student's name on it, even if the form is not applicable to you.
Meet the Teacher will be on Thursday night, with a barbecue ahead of time! More details to come this week! I am looking forward to meeting with you all!
