Today we did some readings and activities around culture in Ukraine involving: clothing, food, art and language. We will also be looking at the culture of Tunisia this week to end off our social studies.
We are almost finished our animal research presentations. Some students have brought their posters home to work on. Please make sure that you bring your poster back to school so you can present when it is your turn! We are hoping to be finished presentations by tomorrow.
Today we started our human sexuality unit in health. We did an activity where we had to name 10 body parts that are only 3 letters long. Then we brainstormed the changes that happen to our bodies, thoughts, and relationship-perspectives. We also discussed the great things about growing up, and the difficult things about growing up. To conclude the lesson, everyone wrote on a piece of paper to ask a question or to share something they learned into the anonymous question box. We write these at the end of each lesson, and we take up these slips of paper at the beginning of each subsequent lesson. Lastly, the kids took home a questionnaire as homework for this lesson. They are to complete this with a parent. Thank you for supporting this unit with your child!
In math we practiced subtracting with decimals. This skill will come in handy when budgeting money! Tomorrow we will reviewing how to tell time.
Tomorrow is our Pillars of Care Assembly. Please join us at 1:00 to cheer on the winners!

Today I shared with the students that next Wednesday will also be my last day at Beddington Heights. I have accepted a position at a school that is closer to home called Dr. George Stanley. It has been an amazing experience working each day with your incredible children. I have enjoyed my time and am so proud in the growth I have seen in the students over the past 4 years. Although I am sad about leaving, I am looking forward to what the future has in store! I wish everyone the best in grade 5.
