Math

Decimals

-Peer Evaluation

-MQ286#1-3 as a class

-MQ287#4-28 (multiplying tenths by tenths: We will be using multiplication, past experience and 100 charts to assist us)

Decimals

-Peer Evaluation

-MQ294#1-12 as a class (dividing by 10, 100, 1000)

-MQ295 even numbers (converting to larger linear units…i.e. mm – cm, cm-m and m to km)

Decimals

-MQ297#1-7 as a class and #8-23 (division - sharing profits with no remainders)

Decimals

-MQ299#1-19, 26-28 (dividing decimal numbers with no remainders, using long division)

Decimals

-Peer Evaluation

-MQ300#1-6 as a class (writing zeros in the )

-MQ301 even numbers (writing zeros in the dividend so there are no remainders)

L.A.

-Punctuation, spelling and capitals will be our focus through the use of our agendas (accuracy in copying messages that model good writing form) and we will also pursue this worthy self-editing goal soon in our personal dictionary/spellers.

-P.A.R.I.S.

-Poetry: Students will continue to build upon their own poetry anthology.  This week, we hope to complete our fifth and sixth types of poems, Une mère and Quiz Poems.  Students will have ample opportunity to read the poems of their classroom peers as they have the added responsibility as peer editors.  During the poetry unit, the teacher will read at least one poem per day.  Students who have either written or found a poem will be given the opportunity to share them with the class.

-Journal Entry: What Mother’s Day Means to Me

F.L.A.

-Students will be using the classroom’s French-English dictionaries to translate their One Mother poems into French.

-French is taught using the four modes/skills of learning.  This means that all students have the opportunity to learn through listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Science

 

Weather Watch

-Glossary: condense, dew point, humidity, relative humidity, saturated air

-Discuss and complete page 13 of duotang

-Demonstration: Ice water in a tin can

-Photocopy: Relative Humidity Chart

-Activity: assemble psychrometers (these measure relative humidity)

Weather Watch

-Glossary: review

-Discussion: the Water Cycle

-Photocopy: Gauging the Rain (discussion and inclusion in our notes)

-Activity: assemble rain gauges

-Go outside with our weather measurements (set up our rain gauges and take wind readings)

Weather Watch

-Go outside with weather instruments and make unwritten measurements

-Discuss findings

-Titlepage and duotang completion time (they are due for evaluation today)

(next week)

-Begin graphing exercise (we will be graphing the weather based on the readings of our 4 school-made weather instruments)

 

Art

-We will continue to use our art techniques, the use of fonts, misting and wet-on-wet painting by applying these techniques to our daily work assignments in order to embellish them in preparation for grade 6 achievement and to present our work in a prideful manner.

S.S.

Social studies is taught by who is substituting for Ms Sparrow this week
