Good evening parents and students!

Today students had reading buddies! It is always so great to see how sweet and caring the Grade 5's are towards their reading buddies. 

Tomorrow is Casual Day... I cannot believe it is the end of the month already... time has really flown by!

 

Math:
In math students continued with their Healthy Survey Project. One concern that I had while working through the package was that a lot of students have forgotten what Range, Mean, Median, and Mode are. I want to see which students have grasped the concept and which need more practice, so we will be have a quick exit card quiz (it will only be the four questions for one set of data). Below I have attached the anchor chart that is in class so that students can take a look tonight. Otherwise, students worked well in class and are on the graphing stage of the summative!

 UOI: Human Body
Students today completed their Body Systems Quiz. I have not marked all of them yet, but the ones I have looked at were done very well!
We also completed the planning stage of our Body System Model, and some students even started building! Please make sure that students and parents are looking together at the model being created so that all materials can be brought in for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will have twice the amount of time to work on our models!

 Finally, students must still be completing their daily food and exercise tracker, along with their daily journals. Many students have really improved their journal entries. I want to continue seeing students commenting on what they eat and setting goals for themselves.  Two questions should also be answered every night, these answers should be detailed (one than a few words/one sentence).
