News from the 5A Crew!!


PEEK AT THE WEEK!: SEPTEMBER 23rd to 28th
Ahoy!  Can you believe that we have almost sailed right through September? 

Attention-Special Events!

                Our magazine fundraiser is underway!  Please look for the information your child brought home last week or visit www.ccrp.ca and use our school code of AB1633.
                We are taking part in a special leadership opportunity this week by helping out the students of Grade One and Grade Two during the lunch hour.  This is a very cool chance for the students to demonstrate their maturity while offering a helping hand to the teachers of the younger grades.  Can’t wait to hear their ‘reports’!
                Did you check out your child’s school picture?  I thought all the photographs looked stellar!  If you are thinking of ordering photos of your child, please keep in mind that the due date is OCTOBER3rd

Language Arts
Reader’s Workshop continues, as do the adventures of Hiccup! Congratulations to all the students on a superb effort on the recent 100 Word test!  Very impressive and worthy of a freshly baked treat!  Students who must try again will be given a shortened list on Monday to focus their studying.  The next test will take place on THURSDAY!
Math
Graphs, graphs and more graphs!  This is a week of interpreting and constructing graphs!  In addition to our fun with graphs we will be barging ahead with our facts on Wednesday!  Thanks pirate parents for supporting your child’s fact quest at home! 
Science
We are trying our hand at forecasting this week and then seeing how well we did using the Weather Network!  As well we will be finishing up our weather glossaries and looking why we have seasons!

For what is up in Social Studies and French head on over to Ms. Bourassa’s blog:

Hope this provides an idea of what is up in 5A!  Check in with your pirate to hear what else we have been up to!  By the way, their second art project (to be displayed in the library) looks better than I could have hope for!! 
What a creative crew!
