Class Update - February 24

¡Hola familias!

I hope you are staying warm. 

📣 DON'T FORGET - SPRING CONCERT SURVEY

With having three Grade 5 classes, some logistical issues for the concert are created.  We understand that due to prior commitments, some students may not be able to participate.  In order to have a better idea of how to organize the instruments and the singing for the concert, we ask that you confirm your child's participation.  Please indicate on which date(s) your child can participate.  Grade 5 students are welcome to participate both evenings as this is an excellent way for them to experience performing these pieces in preparation for Que Pasa. Please respond to this survey by Tuesday, February 22, 2023, so that we have enough time to prepare.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

🎶 Spring Concert on March 22/23.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW / LO QUE APRENDIMOS ESTA SEMANA

• 🔢 Math: Compare and order fractions. We are looking at the relationship between fractions and decimals. 
• 💃 Spanish: Students are writing a short tale (un cuento). A lot of dragons 🐉 are awakening in the classroom. In reading, we are learning to decode diphthongs.  
• 📚 English: We are about to finish the first round of literacy circles. We read some books that show the text structure of expository writing. 
• 🧪 Science: We finished the chemistry unit. A test is scheduled for March 3.
• 🍁 Social Studies: We are critically examining the ways of life of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Next week, each students will make a video to retell some of the stories they have learned. 
• 🧶 Art: Students have almost completed the artifacts using geometrical shapes inspired by the Indigenous art from the Coast Salish and the Wayúu people. They have blown my mind with their creativity! Some students have used Minecraft while others are handcrafting (painting and sewing).
