Writing - We are focusing on how to edit and revise our writing. This week we looked at the Dog Man series and editing for proper capitalization.






We also published a whole lot of "How to...." mini procedural writing books to share!

Lastly, in writing and literacy, students are completing their EXPERT STATION presentation to show to their peers next week. Ask them what theirs is on and they can show it to you next week at conferences.


Science - We continue to learn about Matter, the phases of matter, and the properties of the different phases. We look forward to a few experiments next week to measure mass.



Reading - We started a new novel. Check it out!


We will be focusing on predicting text with evidence, making inferences with evidence from the text, as well as sketching to demonstrate our visualization skills. As well, making connections to text is how we also read deeply in grade 5 in order to relate to characters, the plot and story settings.

Thanks for now.

I am looking forward to you visiting next week with your child.

Mrs. Harris
