Math - We are revisiting the multiplication concepts and will be working on multiplication for a few weeks:

Grade 4 - Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication (2-digit or 3-digit by 1-digit) to solve problems; concretely, pictorially and symbolically

Grade 5 - Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication (2-digit by 2 digit) to solve problems; concretely, pictorially and symbolically

French - As we continue our unit on clothing "Les vêtements" we read stories related to this theme, continued to work on writing detailed sentences, and added a new sound to our sound wall (mur de sons - where we take a look at spelling patterns that make the same sound in French)

Math- This week we finished up our unit on decimals.  Students wrote a test on the decimal unit on Friday.  The students who were absent will write this test on Tuesday.

French - This week students wrote a new ending for the book we were reading "Les Espions Magasinent" and we talked about where we would like to visit for a vacation.  Next week, we will look at the weather forecast for the places we would like to go and talk about the clothing that we would pack to go on vacation.

Other News  - Students in Grades 4 and 5 wrote Provincial Assessments on Wednesday.  The Grade 4 students wrote assessments in Language Arts and Science and the Grade 5 students wrote an assessment in Math.

Math - As our unit on decimals continues, the focus this week was adding and subtracting decimals.

French - This week we discussed the clothing that we would wear depending on the occasion or the place we were going.  Students learned new vocabulary for types of clothing not worn as often.

We started a reading activity where students have a different task Mon - Thurs related to the book they are reading.  Monday, they read the book and record the date and title of the book.  Tuesday, they read the book aloud and choose a word from the book and write a sentence of their own using the word.  Wednesday, after reading the book, we correct the sentences they wrote and students make their corrections and then find rhyming words in their book.  Thursday, they draw a picture of their favourite part of the book and write a sentence to describe their picture.   After the first few weeks practicing this routine together, the students were given leveled French books this week and will challenge themselves to improve their French reading.

Energy Cubes Challenge - Students will participate in the Energy Cubes Challenge from May 1 - 22.  A booklet went home for students to track their activity by coloring one cube for every 15 minutes of continuous physical activity (if you move with a member of your immediate family, you earn 1 extra cube for each person moving with you)  Enjoy being physically active this month

We started a unit on decimals and worked on the following outcomes:

  • relate fractions to decimals

  • explain the meaning of each digit in a given decimal with all digits the same
  • show how a given tenth can be expressed as hundredths (equivalent decimals)

We continue to work on the unit 'Mes vêtements'.  We discussed the different types of clothing worn based on the weather and season.  We are reading and writing about these topics.
