Hello, 5B families!
What a wonderful group of students we have in our 5B class! Here is a review of our learning today. Our activities included the following: unpacking school supplies, completing a “Getting to Know You” sheet, making a novel section, participating in a group discussion on goal-setting, doing a STEM activity, and enjoying a prayerful, reflective listening to three songs: “Open the Eyes of My Heart”, “Throne Room Song”, and “Holy Ground”.
We had an extensive safety guidelines discussion and demonstration connected to the “Health Ed.” curriculum and our Cotton Ball Launcher activity supporting grade 5 Science and ADST learning standards. Students were closely supervised and only permitted to launch cotton balls and to practice aiming at the targets they created inside their desk “caves”. We reviewed the necessity for following instructions and demonstrating maturity when doing STEM projects in order to ensure they are enjoyable for all.
I was absolutely delighted with how well students performed in this task! We look forward to more grade level appropriate challenges that foster these wonderful core competencies (thinking, communicating, social/emotional). It was great to see how students had so much fun talking about and tinkering with their creations and applying their new understandings gained through the design process. Way to go, 5B!
Tomorrow students will get their agendas and a copy of the weekly schedule. We will also will on some writing samples, math word problems related to reading clocks and calculating elapsed time,
Reminder: Tomorrow is an assembly day, so please remember your full uniform.
