Division 5,

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.

Last week, we had our first round of math zoom lessons on Geometry.  We will continue with lesson 2 in Geometry this week.  Also, we will have an art lesson this week on how to make your own playdough.  The playdough will be used for lesson 3 Geometry (next week).  Modelling clay will also work for the lesson if you have any.  We will be concluding our unit on Matter.  Next week, we will start our new science unit on Energy.

I’d like to thank Ms. Araujo for being our guest reader last week.  We will continue to have Ms. Araujo as our weekly Thursday guest reader.

Next week, I’m hoping we can start weekly class meetings.  More details to follow.

Some of you have started your ADST lessons.  If you haven’t yet, please check out the ADST page. Families, I encourage you to watch the slide shows with your child.

Thank you for submitting all your beautiful artwork, poetry, and writing.  I have compiled some of your work in a couple of collages.  Also, I have created a slide show compilation to celebrate our learning!

Check these out!

I’d love to see more photos of things you have been doing at home with your families.  Also, if you have creations from Mother’s Day.

Ms. Fierro is also looking for your music reflections and recorder videos.  You can submit them directly to her.  Her email is Teresa.Jukich@burnabyschools.ca
