September update

Math:  Whole Numbers.  We will be looking at whole numbers based on their place-value and comparing and ordering them.  We will also be writing numbers in numeral form, expanded form and picture form.  Feel free to ask your children about LARGE numbers in society and what they represent.  Example: population of Oakville versus Toronto or Distance to a city or town or planet.  UNIT TEST SEPT 26th

Gr 5:  Look and compare numbers up to the Hundred Thousand units, multiplication and division
Gr 6:  Look and compare numbers up to the Hundred Million units, multiplication, division, prime numbers, BEDMAS

Language:  Conventions.  We are writing paragraphs about our super powers while looking at our conventions.  Students will be editing their work and learning how to use proofreading marks in order to improve their writing.

Science:  We will be starting our science units next week and can't wait for all the fun and exciting experiments and field trip that will come our way.

Gr 5: Matter (what's the matter?) - Quiz Sept 23rd
Gr 6: Biodiversity of living things

Religion: our religion program will focus on incorporating all the wonderful lessons that we learn about being good people and become great role models and leaders for others.

Gr 5: Living in the community - our symbol is the ROCK...we are the rock upon which faith is built on
Gr 6: Human rights and responsibility - our symbol is the LANTERN .... the light of God shines through us

Gym/DPA: we have gym on Monday and Wednesday.  Please have a change of clothes and shoes (non-marking) for class.  We also will be having DPA on the other days, so always be ready for a activity challenge.

Library: our library day is on Wednesdays.  I always encourage students to try and read something different then what they are used to reading.  Reading = Succeeding.  Make sure to ask your children what they read today and maybe even start a book together that you can discuss.


**Please be patient with our agenda's.  We are hoping for them to arrive by Friday.  **
