Here is a little snapshot of some things we are working on right now:

• We are making shoebox museums. We are decorating the outside of the box in art class and will be filling it with special items about us. These can be photos, drawings, magazine clippings or other small items. Please find 10 items to put in your box by Friday.
• We are learning about energy in science and will design superheroes that use forms of energy for their superheroes.
• In social studies we are learning about our government and keeping an eye on the upcoming municipal election.
• In math we are working on number sense. We have been learning our times tables, reading big numbers, and filling out cheques to use number words.
• In reading we are in training! We are learning how to work on various independent reading jobs because soon we will be meeting in small groups for reading lessons.

Times tables

Here is a site with lots of games for learning your times tables. Try a few out and post a comment to tell me which one is your favourite.

Welcome back!

Welcome back to another great year at NGMPS! We are thrilled to share our grade five blog with you. This is a place for students and families to connect to what is happening in the classrooms. We will post weekly updates about what is happening at school, as well as suggesting websites to extend your learning at home. You could use this site as your homework by reading the posts and writing something yourself. If you would like to be a member of the blog, please email me at mrsmott@live.com. Your email must include your email address and a secret name to use on the blog. Don't forget, you can not post under your own name or post information about yourself. That's not safe! Looking forward to seeing you back here soon!

Mrs. Mott
