Literacy
Today we reviewed the five (six) characteristics of a narrative and how identify them in a story.
We will be having reading groups on Thursday. Please practice reading your book for Thursday. Check for understanding as you read and identify the characteristics of a narrative after. Your quiz will have 10 multiple choice questions and a question asking you to identify the 5 characteristics of a narrative and give an example from the story for each. You may use the anchor charts posted in class and the book to complete your quiz.

Math
Today we reviewed expressing numbers in words and expressing a number different ways. On Thursday we will talk about what each representation tells us about the number. On Friday you will be having a Math test on representing numbers. It is important that you correct homework mistakes. If you don't, you will keep making the same errors. I'm usually free at lunch times to help. I'm also available after school.

Social Studies
Learn the location and SPELLING on the provinces and territories. Colour your map LIGHTLY and neatly. Provinces and territories are PROPER NOUNS so each word in their name needs a CAPITAL LETTER.

Religion
Once again Father John led us in a beautiful mass. The gospel reading fit very nicely with our Religion lesson today. The grade five Religion program is about the Church and how the Church is a community of God's followers. Who did Jesus call to follow him in the gospel reading? Be on the look out for a good rock. If you do a Google search "rock paining for kids" you will get some nifty ideas. We won't be painting until next week.

Heritage / Multicultural Day
Tomorrow is Heritage Day at St. Nicholas. Wear something that shows your family's culture. You are only allowed to be out of uniform if what you're wearing is related to your culture.

Reminders
  • Cross country permission forms
  • I will be away tomorrow. Please work hard to complete your Matisse art. You will be given some time on the computers, so bring your Prodigy login information.
Have a wonderful day Magnificent 4/5 Minions
