We now can communicate through our classroom blog! I will be posting upcoming events, news about what we are learning in the classroom and additional sites to use at home that will aid us in our studies. Welcome to the classroom and enjoy our successes with us!
Our year has started off quite successful!
In Writing, we have created wonderful autobiographies about ourselves inspired by the novel "Who is Melvin Bubble?" I want to thank each and every one of you for my entertaining and heartfelt reading material this weekend! They turned out GREAT and I learned so much about all of you!
In Reading we are really trying to work on finding a "Good-Fit Book" for ourselves! If students and parents would like to practice this at home, you can refer to the IPICK chart below:
In Math we are practicing our numeracy skills by extending our patterning skills. Speaking of extending, students have been working on extending patterns and demonstrating their understanding through diagrams and tables.

I encourage each student to try out both the grade 4 and 5 sites, despite what grade you are in, as this will only increase your numeracy skills.
Thanks for Reading and we will chat soon!!!!
