Bienvenue à la classe des 5-6! |
Some of the Grade 5/6s are part of the Animal Crew, in which they feed and take care of the animals at the school, including a fish. The water in the fish's tank needed to be conditioned and Mme Christine gave the students a challenge: to figure out how many drops of conditioner to put in the fish tank. In order to do this, the students used their previous knowledge in math as well as their problem solving skills in order to find the volume of the tank, and complete further calculations. They worked well and logically in order to find the answer.

The Grade 5/6s started their new unit about Children's rights. As an opening activity, the students partnered up and outlined one of the other students on chart paper to represent a child. The students then were tasked with writing 10 things that the child would need in order to be happy and healthy. The students then had to narrow down their list of 10 things down to a list of 5. We then had a class discussion about needs versus wants, and what children need. The students were very creative and thoughtful in their thinking.
