Hello everyone!
This week we have a few things happening! In Language, we are working on our biographies and will be starting our Biography of a Saint project. In Math, we are finishing Data Management and will move into multiplication and division. In Science, we are doing experiments in Matter and Light and Sound all week! We are continuing Dance and we will be having a hip hop workshop Friday, February 10th! I’m really looking forward to this!
In addition, we are going to be starting a “Commonly Misspelled Words” program. I will be working with students on spelling rules and we will practice working with words. This will be done as Literacy Centres. I will put more information about this under “Language” at the top of the blog.
Tuesday: Math Review (Data Management)
Wednesday: Math Assessment for Grade 5 (Data Management)
Thursday: Groundhog Day and Sweater Day
Friday: Book Club Meeting!
Have a great week!

Dear parents and guardians,
Reading is such an important skill to practice. The more you read, the more you will know. You learn new words and become a better writer. I am looking for volunteers to read with 
students. Absolutely any time you can spare would be greatly appreciated and it doesn’t have to be consistent. Thank you so much in advance!
I am going to ask that you fill out the “Volunteer Form” at the top of the blog, just so I have a record and then can reach out to you and set up a schedule (week by week if needed).
I truly appreciate your support,
Mrs. Gill
Dear Parent/Guardians,
In math, we are learning about the collection and organization of data. Over the next few weeks, your child will be working on a number of tasks to do with gathering data, organizing data, and presenting the data graphically, using a variety of tools.
We are asking students to keep track of how much screen time they have over a seven-day period. This would include computer games, video games, and television, as well as playing on tablets or cell phones. It is important that your child thinks about how to collect and organize the data, as the method used will be discussed in class. Please take the time to discuss with your child why he or she chose certain ways to report the data and to discuss why the information varies on certain days.
Having had the chance to explain this thinking to you at home will definitely make your child more confident and enthusiastic about the discussion at school. After the class discussion, students will have opportunities to present their data graphically and to compare their data with the information collected by their classmates.
If you have any questions regarding this task, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs. Gill
