Our Learning in class:

Today, students engaged in a variety of learning tasks and applied their knowledge of leaf shapes, margins and arrangement in a fun scavenger hunt around out school. It was impressive to see them collect almost all different types of leaves (needle leaves, scale-like leaves, as well as all the different broad leaves that grow on trees and shrubs).


In social studies, the first two groups performed their skits demonstrating the principles of equity and equality. One group portrayed a senior and a regular customer in a grocery store. The senior was given a discount, which shows equity. In another skit a customer was being discriminated by the shop employee due to his ethnicity and the police came and ensured equal treatment for all customers in Canada.


In math, students had a chance to catch up on their Mathletics tasks. I encourage you all to use this program at least 1-2 per week at home.

 

In LA, students brainstormed rhyming words for the 3 types of rhyming poems that we have learnt so far.

couplet
tercet
quatrain


Example of a quatrain poem:


A Goat in a Landfill

A goat was in a landfill
eating garbage and debris
and came across a movie;
a discarded DVD.

He chewed the case and cover
and the flavor made him smile.
He took the disc between his lips
and nibbled for a while.

He thought, “This film is brilliant;
full of action and suspense.
The story is exciting
and the fight scenes are intense.

“It’s got a lot of comedy,
a touch of sweet romance,
and music so inspiring
it makes me want to dance.”

He gnawed a little longer
through some drama and a chase,
and finished off the movie
with a grin upon his face.

He gulped the closing credits —
one more bite was all it took —
and thought, “That film was awesome
but I still preferred the book.”

  Hello Parents & Guardians, Important updates and reminders: No school this Friday, October 8th => System-wide PD-Day No school on Monday, October 11th => Thanksgiving Long Weekend Math Assessment on Decimals and Place Value was sent home today Science Quiz tomorrow on Analyzing tree cookies / Types and Parts of Trees Today in science every student was tasked to analyze and measure the growth of a tree cookie (round disk that shows the growth rings). Tree rings vary due to a multitude of factors such as, drought, competition for sunlight or water, fire or bite damage, infestations caused by insects, bacteria or fungi, etc. In class, we reviewed the causes and tried to piece together the growing conditions of each tree. This will be part of tomorrow's assessment. In LA, we started a new project: Concrete Poetry! https://www.blendspace.com/lessons/h93WRmDCotQmLQ/concrete-shape-poems Ask your child, which shape they have chosen and which words they want to use to convey the

 Dear Parents & Guardians, In weeks with 4 school days, I will update my blog at least twice.  On weeks with 5 school days there will be a minimum of three blog messages. In class, we are continuing our work around our school's Five Pillars of Care. Care for Self Care for Others Care for Place Care for Learning 5th Pillar (This month's theme is Respect). In groups, students have brainstormed examples for each of the Traits and created a Pillar for our DL -Board outside the classroom. This work is part of the Health and Life Skills curriculum. Each month students demonstrating the values will receive an award at our school assembly. For now,  these assemblies continue to be virtual only. In math, students wrote a short 30 questions math test named the MIPI. This test will determine their entry level of understanding for grade six. Our first math unit, is place value paired with adding and subtracting whole and decimal numbers. In LA, we continued our review of nouns and adde
