September Newsletter
5-22
The month of September has been very busy. The introduction of classroom expectations
and getting to know the students has certainly made this month pass by very
quickly. Here are the topics that we
have been covering in different subject areas:
ELA:
In ELA, We have been doing different activities to get to know
everyone (including Mme Craciun) better, including a character bag presentation
and several questionnaires. We will soon
be working on Guided Reading.
Science humaines:
In Sciences humaines, we have been discussing provinces and
territories and their capital cities. We
have also been working on geographical regions of Canada such as the Prairies
and the Canadian Shield.
Sciences de la nature:
In Sciences de la nature, we have been looking at the vocabulary
for the weather, discussing how weather affects humans and animals, and the
different characteristics of air.
Hygiène:
In hygiène, the students are working on a booklet about bullying.
Arts plastiques:
In art, we have created pictures frames and the students drew a self-portrait
to go along with the ELA theme of All About Me.
Français:
Students have been working hard at getting back into the routines
of reading every evening. We have also been going over the verb “avoir” in
class to ensure students are familiar with it when writing sentences correctly!
We read a play about the start of the
school year. Students have been practicing the plays with their groups and will
present them to the class!
Mathématiques
At the beginning of September, students traced their shoes and
measured the perimeter to make a locker nametag. We have done a review of
addition and subtraction. We are currently
working on number concepts. We have also
been working on basic multiplication facts and mental math strategies.
We have really enjoyed our first month with this great grade 5 class!!
