Two more presentations to go! If you haven't performed, please practice your lines. We have Music first thing in the morning, so the presentation will be after recess.
Math
Many grade fours forgot the relationships between length and width and perimeter. You have to double length + width to get perimeter. If you're working backwards using the perimeter, you have to divide by 2 or cut the perimeter in half.
Grade 4 try to work on your Mathletics' assignments.
Grade 5 extra-practice:
All the small rectangles are the same size.
What is the perimeter of the small rectangle?
What is the perimeter of the large rectangle?
Literacy
Today we learned a little bit about Ivan's early life before he was captured. What is his real name? What happened to his sister? How did we know? He didn't actually say the words, we INFERRED the meaning of "the vine snapped".
Looking words up in a dictionary was a bit of a challenge. We will continue to practice.
Social Studies
We had our first glimpse of the Canadian Shield today. It the largest and oldest physical region in Canada. Do you remember the age of the some of the rock in the Shield? It is a beautiful region with amazing wildlife. Can you identify these birds?
Make sure you get your quiz on the provinces / territories signed. If you did not get perfect, you will keep writing it until you can correctly label them. For the 5 people who got perfect, you will continue with a quiz on the capital cities of Canada.
