Math 5 - Poirier

We are continuing with estimation and round up numbers.

Students will have a Math “Diagnostic Test” on Tuesday Oct 1^st and Wednesday Oct 2^nd.

Students don’t need to study for that test.  The purpose of it is to know what they remember from grade 4 and will not be considered for report cards.  This test will guide me on student’s level and abilities in Math.

There are the Math homework from Sept 30th – Oct 4th:

Lundi:       p.55 # 3-4-5

Mardi:       p. 56 # 6-7-8

Mercredi:  p. 58 # 1-2-3

Jeudi:        Pas de devoir (Field trip in Science)

Vendredi:  Pas de devoir

Social Studies - Turcotte

Last week, we completed our first chapter about Canada: provinces, capitals, regions, lakes and rivers. We also learned about maps and what we can find on them and we had our first quiz Thursday. Next week, we will extend our learning by studying more about the Atlantic Region and it's component.

FLA - Turcotte
Last week, we started to write a story about a present event. This is our first writing assignment and it is a little bit challenging. This short story (75 words)  has to be written using the present tense and using "I'. This is a task that we will be completing in class next week. We are also starting our French Song Fridays.

Science
We are going on Field trip next week!! (Fingers crossed for nice weather and not too much snow this weekend) Make sure to bring your money and form on Monday, Sept 30th if not already done. We will be outside all day so students (and parent volunteers) should come prepared for the weather. Here are some info from the Weaselhead staff:

Participants should bring: 

•Appropriate clothing for the weather. Dress in layers. (boots or hiking shoes recommended)

•Water bottle.

•A snack and a waste free lunch for a full day field trip.

•If uncomfortable with sitting on the ground, bring something to sit on (for example: A grocery bag with newspaper in it and taped shut). Lunch is held outside with no benches. Students will be sitting on the ground.
