This Year is Going to ROCK!

Welcome back to our classroom blog!  The grade 5 students in our class are the same as last year.  We have new grade 4 students joining us for a great year of growing and learning!  Our class is really AWESOME!  

So far this year we have started to learn about Rocks and Minerals in Science.  Yesterday we used cookies as a pretend rock, we broke the cookies apart to see how different ingredients make up the cookie, just like different minerals make up a rock.  We drew diagrams of rocks and the cookies and labelled the different parts of each.  It was both fun and delicious!

We have also started to learn to tell time in math.  Soon we won't have to ask Ms Blacker what time recess is, we'll be able to figure it out on our own!  She is looking forward to that! 

Today Ms McIntyre visited our classroom.  She is going to teach us once per cycle.  We're very excited and lucky to have her teach us too! 

We're looking forward to sharing lots of exciting learning, news and activities throughout the new school year!  Please check back in with us soon!
