Welcome to June Grade Fives!
We have used a variety of math links this year to help you 'see' math and to practice your math skills. I would like to know which site is your favourite and why.

Science: a time for reflecting
Hello Grade Fives,
Today I would like you to reflect on your own learning during our science mini-experiment unit as well as making suggestions about how I could change parts to make it a more useful learning activity in the future.
As usual, I look forward to reading your responses.

Last Story, a Choice
Hello Grade Fives!
I learned many wonderful things at my Pro D on Friday and as a result I am giving you a couple of new choices for your 2nd (and last story), yes last! In June we will be doing something totally different for reading and writing :)
2nd story choices: (the template pages are still required for all three choices)
1) same format as your first story
2) a ppt storybook for a primary grade level
3) a collaborative story, with a friend, using a private wiki page (I will provide you with one)
4) your own creative idea
Also, please sign your comment using your first name. I have dealt with the privacy issue by removing all old posts and saving them as a word document for my own reference :)
I can hardly wait to see which format you have choices for your last story!

Fractions
Good morning or afternoon Grade Fives!
We have just completed a week focusing on fractions. I would like to know how you felt about that approach. Did you find the three days in a row helped your learning? Did you find that the 'peel off' system helped your learning? If you helped other students, did you find that your 'teaching' helped your learning?
You may not see it, but your responses assist me in determining how to help you learn more effectively and efficiently.

Story Writing Check-in
Hello Grade Fives!
I am so glad to be back and I am anxious to know how your story writing is going. Please share some of the struggles and successes you are experiencing as you have been writing your stories. For some ideas to help you respond: do you find the outline helpful and does it make story writing harder, please explain? What is the hardest part of writing your story(ies)?
Please note that your first story is expected to be completed and in my file by this Friday.
As usual, I look forward to reading your responses :)

Math Muses
Welcome to Monday, April 21st Grade Fives!
Thank you for your thoughtful responses last week about story writing. I found your ideas very helpful in planning what you want and need to know.
This week I would like you to tell me all about your learning math: what makes sense, what are you struggling with, what helps you learn, or what makes it harder for you to learn.
As usual, I really look forward to reading your thoughts.

Hello Grade Fives,
I am interested in how you feel about story writing. I would like to know 1) whether you enjoy writing stories, 2) what you find easy, 3) what you find difficult, and finally 4) what you would like to learn how to do when writing stories.
I am looking forward to reading your responses. They will help me plan lessons to help you write stories.
