What's Been Going On In Grade 5?

Your fives are doing great! We've done a bit of math and most are able to push past the gr 5 expectation of large numbers up to 100,000.  They have been creating infographics to make visual representations of numbers.

You may have also heard that we are moving to Mars! Well,  something like that.  Official word came in today from the Canadian Space Agency and Let's Talk Science that we've been accepted into the Living Space Project.  Our technology is on the way and once we move into our portable we will begin our experiments.  More details on the project can be found in their Hapara Workspace.  I will eventually post it on here at some point.

In order to get ready, students have begun research projects and have chosen to write about either Mars, the International Space Station, or Canadian Astronaut David Saint Jacques.  These 3 topics are our focus since our Living Space Project involves all 3.
