A guide to the wonders of grade 5
Humanities The week that was... This week, students told a story of their assigned region of Canada through a mind map design. We also began our introduction to stories and book clubs through a reader's theatre piece that students presented on Thursday. A look ahead... Next week, students will get their book club novels and begin to investigate story starts. On Thursday, students saw three different story starts and ranked them from their favorite to least favorite. Students were asked to think about why they liked one more than others and were told to reflect on this question over the weekend by looking at some of their own books. "What makes a good story start?" We will also continue to unpack regional identity within Canada. Science The week that was... Students learned about moisture in the air and cloud cycles. They also did an investigation in different temperature points in the room by hypothesizing where the warmest and coolest points in the room are. A look ahead... Students will look at wind cycles and how that effects our changing weather patterns. Math Here is an area maze that students can try to solve that will help them with their basic facts. For more challenging area maze puzzles, you can look up Naoki Inaba's Area mazes.
