Science

Just a remind, as announced at the beginning of the week, there is a weather test on Monday or Tuesday depending on your class. I will be giving out study sheets next class but I have already let the students know what they need to study. Here's how we find out who listens in class!!

I am sure many parents have noticed the decrease in homework in our science class. I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know there is a very good reason for this. Although it is very important to be able to write out a correct lab, I feel science at the grade five level should be about exploring, learning and even fun. Right now we are learning about weather and this unit allows for a lot of discussion and many practical activities to learn from the environment around us. I feel confident that the amount of knowledge taken in has not decreased with the amount of written work. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you!

Spelling

Our spelling words this week are dedicated to our fabulous novel study! Here they are;

climax,. plot,. illustrator,. review,. conflict,. resolution,. genre,. fiction,. author, adventure, historical, fantasy, character, publish, copyright, nonfiction Bonus: engaging

Good luck!

Spelling

OUr spelling list for this week is a little late. Sorry! Here are the words:

cough,. separate,. surprise,. dessert,. bargain,. loose,. receive,. meant,. aisle, calendar, seams, weird, raise, waive, patience, ache

These words are caled spelling demons. They are called this because although they seem easy to spell, most people spell them incorrectly. The students have had additional spelling practice this week so I hope to see a great effort from everyone!

Spelling

This week we are focusing on silent letters. all of our words include at least one silent letter. Study hard because these words may seem simple but they can be tricky. Good Luck!!

doubt., knead., wreath., crumb., thumb., knuckle., aisle., gnaw., sigh, yolk, muscle, knot, design, bristle, chalk, glisten
