This week we will have a short quiz on Area and Perimeter to determine how students are assimilating the material. Please have your child review these formulas, as well as the metric system, early this week.
JUMP math pages will be sent for homework.
Book reports will come home to be corrected and returned on Wednesday. Please review these corrections with your child (content and mechanics need to be fixed).
Please have your child read to you from his or her A-Z book this week, and change their book at least twice.
Have a great week!

January 17th-21st
This week your child was expected to have handed in their book report Monday morning.
Those three students who did not will need to make special arrangements to get them done.
Math: the pages for each night have the date inscribed on the top. In the green duotang, it is the teacher made word problems, in Jump Math we are continuing on from page 263.
Language Arts:
Grammar ~ corrections to last week's sheet, new sheet due Thursday (both sides)
Reading A-Z ~ please change the book frequently
Independent Reading ~ books will need to be changed this week since everyone is to have finished their book to complete their book report
Show and Tell ~ and exceptional activity for grade 5, this Friday one hour will be set aside for things the students wish to share. Not all students need participate
Music: Song assigned by Mrs. Mackey
Our school board and our school in particular, is the subject of a research project on the use of laptop computers in the classroom being undertaken by the Universite de Montreal. Students have brought home permission slips to be signed indicating whether you allow them to participate (they may be filmed working or be interviewed). Please return these permission slips as soon as possible.
Have a wonderful week!

January 10th - 14th
Hello Families,
This week students need to complete:
-2 pages of math per night (measurement and metric conversions, not so many examples per page) in the JUMP workbook
-Both sides of the synonyms worksheet sent home today (should be in the blue duotang, but not all blue duotangs made it to school today. Ahem)
-Their book report is due Monday, January 17th (red duotang)
-Social Sciences reading will be assigned later in the week.
Have a good week!

Welcome back!
This week, students will have to work on math Thursday night, and over the weekend should remember to finish their home reading and bring it back to school for Monday so that it can be changed.
From this point on, students are expected to read every night and change their book without being reminded by me. Please help me by checking in with your child and making sure they have a designated time each day to sit and read. Frequent practice is the only way to increase fluency, build word knowledge and expand their vocabulary. Please help them reach their potential!
