Welcome to Mr. Junaid's Grade 5 Class

 



Welcome to Mr. Junaid's Class!

This week, we learned about Canadian black history month, circuits, poetry, and we reviewed multiplication and practiced through games. We also took some time for snack, but watched educational documentaries from national geographic for kids. We also had body break dancing, which led the kids to be much more prepared for their learning. We finished off with our weekly show what you know, and had a fun Friday. Next week we will continue our poetry, circuits and social studies learning, but also will be starting to look at division. We will be at this for 6-8 weeks, depending on student progress, and we will get lots of practice so we can feel more comfortable with it.

Hello again everyone! This week was a busy week, but we are progressing really well! In math, we have covered fractions and percents, and will be moving into review next week before a small quiz! After this, we will be moving on to statistics and probability! In science, we have started our classroom chemistry unit, and the students have had a blast with their solutions and mixtures! In social, we tried working with history scripts, and it was a lot of fun from what they had said! I always want to make subjects as fun and engaging as I can. Lastly, in ELA we have been working hard at our story writing, breaking down all parts of the story before writing and editing our stories in a couple weeks! I hope you all have a lovely weekend :). -Mr. Junaid

A show what you know will be given in routine again next week, as well as some reading assessments for the students! We are continuing to focus on division, practicing the strategies such as grouping, arrays, repeated subtraction and halving. The students are feeling more and more confident as we go on. We continued our poetry unit, we students beginning to design their own poems through the acrostic, and cinquain style. We also continued with our circuits unit in science, looking at online circuit building resources while we are getting our new circuit equipment in. Lastly, the students continued with their celebrating Canadian black history month.

 Hello All! This week, we have been wrapping up our story good copies, and will be moving onto mythology and other fiction topics in the next coming weeks before the year ends! We are far into our wetlands adventures in science, and the students have been doing well researching wetlands animals. In math, we are working on our estimation project, which is allowing the students to go on hypothetical shopping sprees, and then adding up their totals and using estimation strategies to calculate which will be the closest to the actual total. Lastly, in social studies, we are finishing our time capsule project, along with our social studies scripts, and are excited for our gallery walk coming soon! Have a great weekend everyone! Mr. Junaid.
