Calendar: Today’s calendar was led by Zane. Great job Zane!

Phonics: Today, students reviewed the “Ou/ou” sound, letters, and song. Students practiced their spelling words in preparation for tomorrow’s spelling test. Students were also introduced to the format for the Spelling Bee that will take place in class on May 11.

Lunch/ Recess 1

IB Learner Profile: Today, students completed the IB Learner Profile for Balanced. Students discussed how being “Balanced” includes more than physical balance or agility. It also refers to regulating our emotions and making responsible choices. Students read a story about “Little Pea” and used pictures and words to create a reflection about the IB Learner Profile.






Reading Buddies: Today, students were able to engage in shared reading with their Reading Buddies. Students were encouraged to talk about the books that they are reading. They discussed with the Grade 5s about their own connections to the stories, and how the books made them feel. Students are demonstrating greater comprehension in their reading.









Math: Today, students were introduced to measuring distance. Students used paper clip chains to measure the length of paths that are not straight. Students completed an activity to practice identifying the longest and shortest distances or routes to get to a destination. Students recorded their findings in their math books.
