Spelling – test  

This week's super spellers are Karsyn & Rileigh.  To become a super speller students need to make 100% on the trial test on Monday. They are always given their spelling words for the following week on Friday so they have time to prepare over the weekend.

Keyboard - colour for finger placement and practice spelling the provinces on the keyboard using proper finger placement.

PJ Day - blanket & pillow - Tomorrow is international sleep day and we will be practicing some relaxation techniques. Students may also bring in a small stuffie.

Teacher’s Page Search and Find – I have asked the students to have someone at home re-do this activity with them so that they have someone at home who is familiar with the teacher's page. All answers must be in full sentences. I will be using this activity to assess if students are able to write proper sentences.

Grade 5

Homework for this class will usually be to finish work that was started in class that students probably should have finished. Students will have a daily morning warm-up that they will need to complete.  

Reading - I expect that students spend 30-60 min per evening, 5X per week doing homewrk. If they spend 40 min finishing up things they did not finish in class then they should read for 10 - 20 min., if they spend 10 min on finishing up or if they are all done their classwork then they could spend 30-50 min reading.

Phys. Ed.  

Morning Warm-Up activity - Please see the February Morning Warm-Up PowerPoint to see the days activity. As stated in the document description this is a working document and changes will be made to it as we work along.

Use your time wisely. If you finish I want you to research resources for mental health for teens. Create a document of URLs to share at a later time with notes about the site. ie: who would benefit from the site, what are some useful aspects, what do you like or dislike about the site and why. This research may be used for a future assignment.
