Hello NLS Families!

Today was an exciting day for our Grade 5 classes as we went on a walk to Nose Creek Park! Students were able to observe a wetlands area, and sketch the area and make a few jot notes about what they saw.  It was a great morning! We will further discuss this tomorrow when we continue to learn about wetlands in science class.

Hello all - happy Thursday!  Today we:  started to learn about using whole numbers in estimation! We talked about why estimation is useful, strategies we can use to estimate and did some questions together as a class.  Tomorrow, we will practice some questions with estimating sums (estimation with adding).  continued to work towards finishing up our Wetland Creatures stories/artwork - many students are done typing the good copies of their stories and working on the artwork part of this project.  finished our read-aloud novel - The Jumbies! We have been reading this novel for about 6 weeks!
