Currently in MATH we are working on Addition and Subtraction with regrouping.  The students are working at becoming expert mathematicians when it comes to adding up to 5 digits and subtracting up to 4 digits.  Please consider practicing at home with your child.  There are several websites with free math games to practice with on our blog.

Frindle

Our first read aloud this year has been Frindle, by Andrew Clements.  We have enjoyed the funny characters and we understand that language changes over time.  For example words that we said as toddlers may not have meaning to other people, other than our family.  Also that some words are not appropriate in today's society.  We also learned the power of language to make a change and become a leader within school.

Currently we are working on Logos and creating our own Frindle Logos and soon our own personal Logos.

Frindle has been our first read aloud!

Welcome Wyevale Grade 5 Students1

Welcome back to school!  Most importantly welcome to the class and Team Elson!  This year I am very excited for all of the learning and growing that we will do together this year.  Please see the newsletter and important school information and forms that are going home tonight.

POETRY

In Literacy we are working with a variety of poems.  We are learning to write rhyming couplets, shape poems and an acrostic poem.  Our students will also be choosing a favourite poem to share orally with their classmates.
Poems are an excellent way to help with reading fluency and oral speaking.  especially when they have rhyming words!

SYMMETRY

We are moving into Geometry in our math studies.  Today we discussed and built symmetrical images.

INTEGRITY Award recipients

The character trait for the month of March was INTEGRITY.  Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.  It means doing the right thing - even when no one is looking.  Congratulations to the two students who demonstrated this quality this month!
