Addition, Sensory Room Designs, Buddy Time, etc.

Hello, 5B families!

I hope you are all enjoying a little bit more time to sleep in this weekend as we have now turned our clocks back one hour for Daylight Savings! Here are some notes on how we wrapped up our week.

In Math, we finished our Rounding unit and students were asked to bring home their quizzes to share with their families. We are now reviewing multi-digit addition with regrouping and using our rounding and mental math skills to self-check our work.

Here is a helpful video tutorial that you can use to review at home.

In Health Ed. this week, Mrs. Murphy has us thinking about what steps we can take to regulate our emotions and energy. She invited students into a creative challenge of designing plans for a new “sensory room” for our school. It was valuable learning time to reflect upon what environmental elements and tools can help us to re-focus.

On Friday afternoon, we enjoyed some time in our little buddies’ grade 2 class. We first watched their lovely singing performance and then had some creative centres time with them.

In Religion class, we reflected upon the ways people may tap into their spiritual connections to draw strength and work towards their goals.
