 Hello!

Today we:

  • did a small fractions check-in to show what we know about identifying and adding/subtracting fractions 
  • learned all about symmetry in Indigenous Art, then we did a math/art task (we had to look at Indigenous Artwork and find lines of symmetry in the artwork) - see photos below
  • played freedom frenzy in gym class and a game called "dart and hoop" to learn about indigenous games (this month is National Indigenous Peoples Month)
  • we did our wrap up for our social studies unit with some review and a quick check-in to show what we have been learning about
  • other students had some catch-up time and others played prodigy to practice some skills we have been recently working on in math (symmetry & fractions)
Reminders:
  • NO school tomorrow - Friday June 9th 2023 - it is a PD day!
  • Remember to bring in a WHITE T SHIRT FOR TIE DYING! ALL GRADE 5 STUDENTS WILL BE DOING THIS!
