This week in math students completed a unit on measurement and wrote a final quiz that covered all the measurement topics. That quiz went home today to be signed and returned for Tuesday. We started our final math unit, which is on probability.
In language students continued to read and write poetry. Students shared their poems during author's chair, and learned how to identify and use personification, similes and metaphors in their writing. We also watched a spoken word artist present his work and discussed why his presentation was so effective. Here is the link for that poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTZrPVqR0D8.

In social studies we looked at several clips about the history of Canada and discussed which source was the best and why. Students took notes while watching the clips in order to practise their listening and summarizing skills.
In art students finished their Keith Haring works of art, which are displayed in the hall outside our room.
Important upcoming dates:

Homework for this week:
There is no homework folder homework for this week. Students need to continue to read daily for at least 20 minutes each day, and continue to work on their notes if they felt there were gaps. Most students are finished their notes. Students also need to brainstorm and/ or research for the art/ poem/song component of their project, which we will begin on Wednesday in class.
Best,
Bronwyn Davidson
