Today in Science we completed our experiment with different ways to separate mixtures of solids. Students particularly enjoyed using air to separate materials with different weights and magnets to separate metals from non-metals.
In Math we corrected textbook pages 11-12 and had more time to work on pages 15-16. Students are encouraged to finish these pages tonight and check over their answers using the key below. A reminder again that we will have a patterns check-in in Math tomorrow. This check-in will cover all work we've done in patterns so far, so students are encouraged to review textbook pages 8, 11-12, and 15-16.
In Language Arts we continued our work with sentences, sharing how we expanded on our partners' sentence fragments to create a complete sentence with both a subject/noun and predicate/verb. Students were excited to share the often silly sentences that they had written. In Social Studies, students continued working on creating their Cordillera region travel brochures. We had some DPA time as a class because we didn't have Phys. Ed. today. We did some fun videos on GoNoodle (and leveled up Super Rufus) and then played Silent Soccer. Today we also had a special guest, Monsieur Metge, come and speak to all of the grade 5 classes about France and French schools, which students enjoyed.
