Math Homework

Today, as a class, we worked through several multiplication questions that were 2 digit by 2 digit (the expectation for Grade 5). Below is a picture of a few examples that we did together and below that you will find the Math Homework for today. Students were given time to work on this during class. The amount of time though depended on when students completed the Language activity from today.

Copy the following questions into your Math Notebook and answer (remember to show your work).
1. 20 x 43
2. 68 x 18
3. 57 x 99
4. 30 x 15
5. 47 x 67
6. 62 x 30
7. 99 x 55
8. 74 x 88
9. 15 x 90
10. 93 x 99
11. 12 x 44
12. 73 x 91

*This is due tomorrow.

Thank you so much to Ms. C who came in this morning as our first "Student for a Day". We hope you enjoyed your morning with us!

Library this week is for returns only! All library books must be returned before March Break.

Tomorrow is also Beach/Tacky Tourist day.









March Curriculum Expectations are posted under the "Curriculum" link at the top of the page. Reminder that these are the curriculum expectations that we will be focusing on over the month and that some things may take longer than others but I will update the document as we go.

Thank you! and 3D Shape

Thank you SO much to everyone who brought in a second lunch yesterday for Double Lunch Day! As a school, we were able to deliver 300 lunches yesterday! Great job everyone!

3D Shape

We didn't get to the activity today with the 3D shapes so I have told students that they can bring in their object tomorrow. Today we did discuss what the assignment was going to be and some of the expectations so some students have decided to change their object.

Gem Jar

We filled out Gem Jar again! The class has voted and decided to do games for a block tomorrow during 2nd block. Students are welcome to bring games from home if they wish. If it is an electronic game, it must be educational (Dreambox, Fowl Words, Speed Grid, etc.).

Student for a Day

Today your child will be bringing home a letter with more information about Student for a Day. If you wish to participate, you will need to register online at https://misshodgins.youcanbook.me/ with the password in the letter. There are only 3 spots available per day (once these spots are taken the date will show as unavailable). You will only be able to book up to 4 weeks in advance and you must book at least 3 days before the day you'd like to join our class.

Please note that this is completely optional! I understand that most parent(s)/guardian(s) will need to book time off of work in order to come to visit our class and therefore I do not expect that everyone will be able to make it. I just wanted to give you all the opportunity to join our class for a day, if you wish to do so.

Updates

We filled our class Gem Jar!!!
As a reward, the class has voted to have a Pajama/Movie/Popcorn Day on Thursday. I will be providing air popped popcorn and students may bring their own special snack on this day if they wish. It must be nut free though and if they bring something to share with 1 person, they must have enough to share with everyone. If you and your child choose to send something to share with the class, please remember that, as a school, we have very strict health guidelines and we strongly encourage healthy eating (especially for morning snacks).


Teacher for a Block

Today, Mr. K.B. was teacher for a block. He led the class in a lesson on different polygons and had students share their ideas on the Smartboard. Great job Mr. K.B.!

Cinderella Story Debate
We have been looking at different versions of the story Cinderella (as it's told in different places around the world). Groups are based on the origins of the story and groups are now preparing for a debate against another country. Please stay tuned to see how the debates end up!
