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 a All About Me booklet.
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, we have discussed
bullying.
Arts plastiques:
In art, we have created a
“selfie” from the summer and the students.
Français:
Students have been working hard
at getting back into the routines of reading every evening. We have also been going over verbs in class
to ensure students are familiar with them.
We read a play about the first day of school. 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 are currently working on number concepts. We have also been working on mental math
strategies.
We have really enjoyed our first
month with this great grade 5 class!!
