Math: We are wrapping up our unit on Data and will be having a test on Wednesday. A formal review will be given tomorrow. Our next unit will be "Decimals." We are going to be spending a significant amount of time on comparing and ordering, adding and subtracting and multiplying and dividing decimals.
Reading: We continue to summarize both fiction and non-fiction pieces. Last week we summarized stories from Haunted Canada. This week we will be looking at the "newsela" website. Ask your children to show you this website so you can help them at home!

Media: We are wrapping up a unit on media right now. Students will be given an assignment and write a test about "overt and implied messages" this week.
Science: We have begun a unit on flight for grade 6 and structure and force for grade 5. We will continue this for the next few weeks.
