This week, we continued with fractions in math and poems and story writing using a picture prompt in Daily 5. We also began our new unit, Sharing the Planet. Kid Quotes: "I liked when we learned the fractions like whole, half, quarter." - Lizzie " I liked Grade 6 buddies. I learned about the word 'ecosystem'." - Odemar " I liked Grade 6 buddies. I learned about the word 'habitat'." - Hakim "This week I learned about fractions. At each table there were some questions. Then we figured it out." - Marin "I learned about fractions." - Joe "I liked the fraction problems."- Jasmine "My favorite thing is I got the certificate! Today we learned about our new unit." - Alik "I liked Grade 6 buddies." - James "I like that we are learning about poems. P.S. I like that they rhyme." - Tudor "I learned about fractions. Fractions are like having two sides. For example, it's like two children share a cookie. 1 cookie. They split it in half. So it's 1/2." - Rajananta "I liked learning about the word 'balance'. It was fun about writing and drawing." - Advay "I liked learning fractions with Ms. Luttrell." - Kento "I liked to make a long story. I learned how to make the correct sound." - Valencia "I liked Grade 6 buddies. I learned lots of fractions. I also enjoyed it." - Kaya Some Reminders: Field Trip: We will be going on a field trip next week, Friday 6 May to MacRitchie Reservoir. We are inquiring into living things and their ecosystems. A letter went home via email (and paper copy with each child) on Friday, 29 April. We will be leaving between 8:15 and 8:30 after students have eaten their snack. When we arrive back at school, lunch will be eaten in the classroom. There is no cost for the trip. We look forward to a fun filled day. More information is included in the letter sent home. Swimming: As a reminder, PE is not taking place on Monday or Fridays. Instead, students will have a double block of swimming on Tuesdays after playtime. Please remember all necessary items for these lessons each Tuesday. Please remind your children to use their own towels and combs in order to stop the spread of head lice during this time. No School: Monday, 2nd May Have a great, long weekend! Ms. Luttrell
