Divsion 5 is BUSY!!! - Math, Geckos, Salmon and Christmas Concert!

In class we are learning about counting on and counting back. To count on you have to take the greatest number and count on from it with the lower number. For example, 10 + 2 = Then you'd go: 10, and count two more 11, 12. Then the answer would be 12. To count back you need to start with the bigger number and count back using the lower number. For example, 7 - 3 =, Then you'd take 7, and count three back 6, 5, 4 and then the answer is 4.

The Geckos do not seem to be learning math. They seem to be learning gymnastics. I think that Golddust is learning to do push ups. She is learning to do a handstand too. She also stretches by putting her two front paws on the glass and one of her back legs on the log, then she has one leg hanging down. Blackdust seems to just want to hide in the log a lot. He is really shy. The Geckos have scaly, webbed feet. They feel like a rubber eraser. They are very light. Golddust likes to be the centre of attention. She is active and very fast. She is always looking for a place to run.

We have a giant tank in our class because we are having salmon coming on December 12th. We are going to learn the lifecycle of a salmon, until they turn to fry. Then we will release them into the hatchery.

The Christmas Concert is coming and we need to wear our PJs. We are dancing to "Hot Chocolate" and we are also singing to "Jolly Old St. Nicolas." Josie is going to wear her Christmas PJs. Tavish is still deciding, but he thinks Christmas ones.

Dear readers, we are sorry to report we are still having technical difficulties uploading our photos. Our classroom received a new desktop computer last Wednesday and we have a few glitches. Hopefully, they will be sorted out soon. Thank you for your patience.

Yesterday we did science outside....bbrrr....  to see if the earth
really turns.  We hammered a big nail into a piece of poster paper on the ground.  We drew a line with the time on it and had to go check every 15 minutes to see what happened.  Can you guess what happened?

OUR FIRST BLOG!           Nov 18, 2014

Welcome to Division 5's classroom blog. Each week we will try to have 2 students write an entry explaining what we have learned during the week. This writing time will coincide with our Learning Log on Friday morning. On four-day weeks we will attempt to get the blog done but due to time constraints, it may not always happen.

Social Studies Quiz

This week students will be assessed on their knowledge and recall of the 7 world continents and 3 oceans (Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans). We have produced 2 world continent maps in school and your child will come home today with a study map.

Students have also worked on 2 geography game sites which are fun for review but they do not include the 3 oceans that touch Canada. Although there are more difficult games on softschools.com which review the world oceans.
