Learning Outcomes

- Describe and provide examples of edges and faces of 3-D objects, and sides of 2-D shapes

- Identify 90 degree angles 

 What Did Students Do?

Students explored the difference between right angles and non-right angles. They met in small groups to draw different shapes with the following criteria: 

- create a closed shape that has at least one right angle

- create a closed shape that has exactly two right angles

- create a closed shape that has exactly 3 right angles 

- create a closed shape that has exactly 6 right angles 

Students then created a visual journal page to demonstrate shapes that are parallel, intersecting, perpendicular, vertical, and horizontal. 






Family Connections

Ask your child:

- How can you identify right angles on a closed shape?

- Are all perpendicular lines intersecting lines? Or are all intersecting lines perpendicular? 

- Can you draw parallel lines? 


Minecraft Visit

We had an exciting visit this week from Mr. Blais who is the Specialist for Teaching and Learning with Technology at the Calgary Board of education, and from Mr. Cameron who is the Economic Resilience Lead for the City of Calgary.  They were very excited to hear about our learning with 2School and how we have connected it to our Minecraft Builds.  Many of our students had the opportunity to share their learning and their Minecraft builds.  Mr. Blais and Mr. Cameron were amazed with how well our students were able to articulate their learning.  Great job Grade 5s!

Blog Post 3 September 12th - 16th We had another great week in grade five. It was our first full week and went by so quickly! Learning Outcomes English Language Arts: Create Original Text Generate ideas to use texts from listening, reading, and viewing experiences as models for producing own oral, print, and other media texts What Did Students Do? The grade five students are organizing and putting on the Terry Fox Run. To do this, they have done a great deal of research about Terry Fox and the "why" behind the run. Students have read books, listened to stories, and watched videos to learn about Terry Fox. With that information, they have taken notes, shared school wide announcements, and created posters. We discussed different ways to share information and students identified talking, signing, writing, pictures, and more as ways to do this. They determined that when sharing information, it needs to be clear and interesting. They then created a target to ensure their posters w...

We will be finishing our novels over the next few weeks and will start a new reading cycle in January.  Family Connections Ask your child: -What novel have you been readin...

Blog Post 26 March 13-17 Learning Outcomes Science - Electricity & Magnetism -Demonstrate that a continuous loop of conducting material is needed for an uninterrupted flow of current in a circuit.  -Distinguish electrical conductors—materials that allow electricity to flow through them— from insulators—materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them.    What Did  Students Do? Students are working towards creating burglar alarms by adding buzzers to their circuits.  They have been provided with many different materials and a problem.  They need to create an alarm that goes off when a door is opened.  Students have been working in groups to create their alarms.  This has been a tricky task for them as they all know how to create an alarm that goes off when a door is closed but being opened is a whole different thing.  We will complete this task in the coming week.  This is definitely building perseverance as we work throug...
