Thank you everyone for coming out to the spring concert. The class has worked so hard on their piece that they were excited to finally share it!

This week we:

-Observed reversible and irreversible reactions in chemistry and discovered 4 different ways to know if a chemical reaction has occurred. We also completed a lab testing powders and using our reasoning to figure out what the mystery powder was!

-Learned about collective identity and the La Grande Paix de Montreal, a peace treaty between the Haudenosaunee and the French. 

-Worked on writing paragraphs with a clear topic sentence and supporting details.

-Met with our book clubs to discuss our new books and reading jobs. We also completed our first reading reflection in the Google Classroom. 

-Grade 6's completed their unit on fractions, percent, decimals and ratios and had a math test.

-Roa math continued practicing equivalent decimals and placing fractions on the number line. 

-Copithorne math worked on equivalent fractions and played the mystery division game. 

-Met with our buddies and helped them discover all the ways they can make the number 17.

-Continued our conversation regarding mental health, stigma and ways to develop strategies to deal with stressors.

Next week we will be learning about acids and bases, testing a variety of substances. We also will be looking at the structure of essays and topic sentences. On Wednesday afternoon (12:45pm-2pm), we will be walking to the pond to explore properties of water. Please ensure your child is dressed to be outside for an hour. 

Have a wonderful weekend.
