This week in math the students had a quiz on metric conversions, perimeter and area. Some students had difficulty with conversions, and I've encouraged students to stay in at recess, lunch or after school for extra help. I've attached an anchor chart that helps with conversions. There will be a re-test, with the addition of volume for both grades and surface area for grade 6's, next Thursday. In language the students wrote a CASI test, which is a standardized reading test. They also researched for their social studies project. We looked at example diary entries and created success criteria for parts of the social studies project. Students evaluated their own pourquoi tales using the success criteria that we created together. In science grade 6's presented their electricity projects, which were very well done! (See the pictures below.) Congratulations to all students who participated in the spring concert and made our Cup Song a success!

Monday, May 19th: Victoria Day, no school

Homework for this week:
Homework for this week will be light because of the long weekend.
1) Complete your research notes for your social studies project. Remember to write down all sources for your bibliography.
2) Finish your Native Canadian-style art to illustrate your pourquoi tale if it's not already finished.
Best,
Bronwyn Davidson
