Math Challenge Search

Today we had another challenge for Morning Math.  It was the window challenge.  Groups had to find a math problem, which was hidden on a window somewhere in the school.  All groups found their challenge and correctly answered their question.  Each group got a point.  Way to go Grade 5's!

Here is one group that found their question by the grade 3/4 classes.  I was impressed by their accuracy in solving their problem, especially after a long weekend.  A job well done!

We are learning how to multiply 2 digits by 2 digits in Math and the class came across a Math Challenge this morning.  The class was split up into 4 teams and each team had to find 3 math problems around the school.  Rules included: Find three sticky note math problems around the school, without making noise.  Solve the problems with your group.  Appoint a spokesperson who will be explaining your thinking to the class. 

 We had a lot of fun being active and solving the problems we found.  Way to go Grade 5's!  We'll see when the next CHALLENGE is....

I Love to Read Month

We had some celebrity readers in our school for I Love to Read Month.

Selena Kaatz and Ms. Fyfe from team Einarson came to read to us.  Selena grew up in Beausejour.  They autographed the poster we made and it is in the hallway by the gym.  Aaron and Kayden introduced them to groups that came to the library to listen to them read.  They were the champions at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts at the Sun Gro Centre.  They are off to the National Tournament, which starts on February 20th.  Good luck Team Manitoba!

Mr. Stevenson came to read to us as well.  It was nice to see him and talk to him, since he is a former teacher of our school.

Mr. Feilberg came to read to us.  He brought a suitcase of books that he enjoys to read.  He read us a book that his brother wrote and illustrated for his kids.  It was neat to see the detailed illustrations.  He even answered some grade 6 questions that we had.  He told us not to worry and said we will have more freedom at ESS because we are getting older and more mature.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

Enjoy your Christmas break with family and friends.  See you in the New Year!

Good luck Edward!

We wish Edward all the best!

A big welcome to all the students in my grade 5 class.  Today was a busy day of introductions, discussing rules and routines, an ice breaker activity and a scavenger hunt.  We learned some things about each other and are looking forward to getting to know each other better throughout the year.  Wishing everyone a good weekend and if you are going to the parade, Fair or rodeo have fun!  See you on Monday! :)
