Reminders

Some reminders for the final week:

• The diorama is due on Thursday.
• The Semester Celebration is tomorrow at 2:00pm.
• There will be no after-school classes or late bus on Thursday or Friday.
• We will have a small class party on Friday because Kylie is leaving.  Angelina will also be going away for six months.  Kylie will bring some treats.  There is no need for other students to bring anything but you can if you want.  We are still having lunch as usual.
• Ms. Sylvia said we can borrow books over the break.  They must come back on time or the culprit will have to do community service (helping Ms. Sylvia in the library at lunchtime).
• Friday 18th is the last day of classes.  We meet again on Tuesday, 5th January.
• Check the school calendar for further details

 

Homework:

1. Read for at least 30 minutes every day.
2. Complete the diorama.  Ensure it contains people and labels.
3. Use Khan Academy math for at least one hour over the week.
4. Practice the spelling words from the back of your notebook.  We will do a test with these on Friday.

Percentages

Today in math we continued finding percentages.

Can you find 8% of 100?  How about 8% of 500?

Remember, percentages are hundredths.

23/100 = 0.23 = 23%

We went to the library and did research for our Native American diorama homework.

In the afternoon we began a piece of writing about 2115.

Homework:

1.  Read for at least 30 minutes every day.
2. Practice the spelling words.
3. Use Khan Academy for a hour over the week.
4. Continue the diorama from last week.  It will be due next week.

Note:

Some parents have expressed concern that their children do not have enough homework.

The AST policy is that Grade 5 students should be completing 45-55 minutes homework per night.

If your child has less than 45 minutes of homework to do on an average weeknight, please let me know and I will revise the homework system.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
