Grade 4/5 Social Justice Project News

On Friday, the Grade 5s met to discuss our Social Justice project in support of the Therapeutic Clown Program at CHEO. Earlier in the year, students were asked to submit their ideas on a Google form. From there, we put together some ideas for raising funds and presented them to the students. Each child is now being asked to sign up for a committee that they feel best suits their talents and strengths. Please click on the form ASAP and let us know your preferences. We will be posting the roles in the new year.

Math

We are continuing to work on patterning, and will be moving into Data Management next!

Our authors are hard at work creating Christmas picture books. This unit takes the students through the complete writing process, from drafting ideas, to editing, and finally the publishing process. The final product method is up to the student’s preference. Some are choosing to use Storybird, some Google Slides with their own images and some are creating paper books. What talented, creative students we have in Grade 5.

This week, we will be discussing our January Book Club. Stay tuned for the link of book choices!

Have a great week everyone!
