A guide to the wonders of grade 5
A look back at the week that was... In Humanities, we worked through basic sentence structure by asking the question: what is a sentence? We looked at both simple sentences and compound sentences. We also talked about how creating better sentences helps us to become better communicators. The eventual goal is to be able to master sentence use through variation. We also studied the Physical regions of Canada and created mind maps to represent their uniqueness. In Science, we looked at the 3 zones of a wetland and created a cut out wetland in our visual journal. We also looked at roles within an ecosystem and ended the week by creating a human food web. In Math, we did mental math exercises as well as looking further in to whole numbers through improving our conceptual knowledge of place value. Here is a helpful video if you require some more support. A look ahead.... In Humanities, we will continue to look at sentences by looking at complex sentences. We will also look at how to make a better map! There will also be a check-in on Canadian provinces and Capitals on Tuesday. In Science, we will be creating a wetland diorama starting on Tuesday. Students have been asked to bring a shoe/cereal box. In Math, we will be looking at procedural knowledge of multi-digit addition and subtraction. There is also a check-in for place value on Wednesday.
