Division 5,

See Star Wars Activities at the bottom of this post!

We have another fun week ahead of us!

At the end of last week, Zoom invitations were sent out.  You would have received three invitations.  One math group and two read aloud sessions.  Please email me if you have not received the invitations, or the math time I have given you does not work with your schedule.

In math, we have completed 4 lessons in Data Analysis.  Assessments of concepts will be scheduled at a later date.  In addition, we will begin our unit in Geometry with Ms. Short. In the upcoming weeks, in some Zoom sessions, we will have a guest, Ms. Jaltema.  Ms. Jaltema is a retired Burnaby school teacher.  You might remember her in our classroom as a TOC this past year.  Ms. Jaltema will be participating in our Zoom sessions periodically because she will be helping Ms. Short become a classroom teacher.  If you have any concerns or questions about having guest participants, please email me.  Thank you!

We are also starting ADST lessons!  Ms. Araujo and I are working together on some activities and lessons on how to teach you more ADST skills. Try to start lesson 1 this week.  Families, I encourage you to watch the slide shows with your child.

Thank you for submitting all your beautiful artwork and poems!  Keep them coming, and I will compile your works of art to display.

To show your work, you will need to post it on your BlogFolio.  If you are posting photos or videos, it is best to use your portable devices (smartphones, tablets, or iPads).  If you forgot how to post, you can check out these instructions. I will check your posts regularly and comment on them.  If you need more help with how to post or log on to the programs, ask your family to email me at Shirley.cheung@burnabyschools.ca 

Happy Learning!
