Hello Parents & Guardians,


As always, I will provide you with a quick overview of this week's updates, assessments, and learning goals.


1. Report Cards can be viewed using your MyCBE/ PowerSchool account.

https://cbe.ab.ca/support/Pages/MyCBE-PowerSchool-Creating-Account.aspx

2. This week there will be a quick science check-in to see where students are at in regards to

learning about the Lunar Cycle and the rotation and revolution of Earth.

3. Final Novel Study Quiz tomorrow on Alan Gratz's "REFUGEE"

4. On February 15th I have booked a virtual presentation about Sun Safety provided by the Canadian Skin Cancer society.

5. No spelling test this week => Short week.



Our Learning goals in the major subject areas:

1. Science 

Students can identify the phases of the Moon and explain/ analyze the movement of Earth through space (rotation - 1 turn around its own axis in 24 hours vs. revolution - 1 year movement on its orbit around the Sun)


2. Math

Students are improving their accuracy in measuring angles and identifying types of triangles and quadrilaterals. In class we reviewed the 6 types of angels once more.

Did you know that an obtuse angle has to measure between 91 and 179 degrees!

Types of Angles - Examples | Types of Angels Based on Measurement


LA: Students will analyze and answer questions and matching tasks related to our novel study unit.

The reading comprehension quiz will be tomorrow.

Example: 

Sort the following events into chronological order. Match the quote to the character.


Social Studies:

Students will be presenting their city projects and write-ups. 

We will also be reviewing the entire unit for a local government assessment next week.

  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).

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
