Welcome to our classroom blog

Working with technology and becoming media literate is a part of the curriculum so we've decided to start a classroom blog. Here you can keep up to date with the latest classroom news, upcoming class and school events and homework assignments.

Main Idea

We have finished working with finding the main idea in our readings. This was our critical pathway for the last couple of weeks. I'm happy to say we were able to get 65% of the class scoring a level 3 or 4, which is up from the initial 23% of the class scoring a level 3 or 4. Good work everyone!

The next couple of days we will be working on the review of Canada and its geographical regions. The main idea of this unit was to figure out how Canada's landforms and resources shape our culture and economy.
The test for this will be on Thursday, following our self evaluation on Wednesday. Self evaluation is important so we can see where our strengths and weaknesses are and how we can improve.

We are going to be using area and perimeter to make some "area art" this week which will then be able to be seen on display in our hallway. Our learning goal is to be able to calculate the area and perimeter of our drawings using 1 cm grid paper.

No Monday Missions this week - take some time to make up a fun game involving multiplication at home.
Dinner Dazzle word has been given.
Spelling words have been written in agendas - remember to study these this week - test on Friday
Independent Reading Journals are due on Friday as well. I enjoy reading all about your books and asking questions about them to help you explore them more.
