In math this week, students continued to practise long multiplication, and also learned how to do long division. You can support your child with these concepts by having them practise at home, and by working on memorizing the times tables. Long multiplication and division become very difficult if students don't know their times tables.
In language students learned the editing symbols that are used when editing their own and others' work. We also read an infographic entitled, "Who's Hungry?" It explained who is using food banks in the city and why. We discovered that many Torontonians have to choose between paying rent or eating, hence the need for the food bank. Students also continued to work on their independent writing pieces. I've been very impressed with the students' engagement in writing pieces of their own choosing!
We continued our inquiry on "What does it mean to be healthy?" We continued to discuss the report card on the health of Canadian children. Students worked in groups to create summaries to post in the hall for the other students in Rosedale to read. Students will begin to work on writing an announcement based on their learning.
Finally, we finished our food drive here at Rosedale. Grade 5's and 6's helped create the boxes for the drive, and read announcements. Thank you for sending in food items for our drive!
