Hello, families!
Here is a 5B learning update that may help spark conversation at home. We’ve launched our new Science unit exploring the respiratory system, and we continue to work through multi-digit addition in Math class.
In Health Ed., we have used the Open Parachute program to explore strategies for addressing stereotypes, discrimination, and bullying, and in Religion class we have gone deeper in learning about the Seven Sacraments and prayer practices.
In Social Studies, we have been investigating the history of Canadian involvement in WWI and WWII and the meaning behind Remembrance Day (Nov. 11), as well as National Indigenous Veteran’s Day (Nov. 8). Students have been expressing their learning through multiple creative modes, including by writing Remembrance Day poems. We are also preparing a special video performance of “In Flander’s Fields” for sharing on the blog this Friday.
