A big thumbs up to the Grade 5's for doing a wonderful job at the poetry recital yesterday. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and support the students.

In social we have been discussing the Pacific Northwest Natives. Students began designing a totem pole representing their own personal families. Students are to use animals to represent the people from their own families.

After recess we completed Day 2 of centers.

After lunch students completed a 3 station pod.
One station had the students work together at the SMARTboard to begin designing a house with a specific number of rooms. Once the house is completely designed students will have to determine the perimeter and area of each of these rooms. I provided a link to the designing website under the math links at the top of my blog page. Students are excited to try to map out their own houses!
A second station had students playing a game against each other. Student's rolled a dice twice and multiplied these numbers together to determine the perimeter of a rectangle. Students were to then draw this rectangle on a 1cm square grid paper.
Lastly, students worked on numbers 3, 4, and 6 from page 130 of the textbook.

We completed the day by taking back our library books and signing out new ones.
