Math Homework

Tonight everyone has math homework. Many students are at different places with the 3 worksheets. The three worksheets are entitled: "Number Sense and Numeration: Division by 10 and 100", "Using Grids to Find Perimeter and Area", and "Calculating the Area of a Rectangle". These should be find in each student's Math duotang since they were asked to put them in there before they changed classes today.

Long and Short Division

Today we looked at the steps for both long and short division and then practiced several questions as a class. For homework, students are asked to complete #1 & 2 of the worksheet as well as check out the game listed at the top of the page (if they have time). Students can do either long division or short division (whichever they rather) but they need to show their work. I understand that this may take longer for some students to complete and that schedules are busy but it would be greatly appreciated if each student could please spend up to 30 min of quality work completing this task. Below, you will find 2 videos that we watched today. I replayed the videos while students were working as well so that they could follow along if they wished.

Long Division Video:

Short and Long Division: *Please note that for this video, we only watched the first 1 minute 40 seconds because the Grade 5 expectation is to be able to divide a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number.

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.).
