Monday

Happy Monday!

The flu is making its rounds through the school, so it is very important to get a great sleep, eat healthy foods, drink lots of water and to wash hands frequently! 5G is a great class, and I want you all to be healthy!

For homework tonight, students will complete "Activity Two" in the Respiratory System booklet Labeling a Diagram of the lungs. Please use the answers from "Activity One" to help you complete this. This is going to be a fun and easy unit, connecting the ideas we learned in the Circulatory System to the actual process of acquiring oxygen through the lungs. It is important to review the new knowledge often to ensure success in the unit.

Tomorrow, students will come to school in their P.E. kit, bring recorders, pack their uniform and also bring an old shirt for the Pig Heart Dissection (!!) at 11:00 am. Parents - interested in joining? Come on in!

Problem Solving will be due on Friday, February 6th. Students who have missed today due to illness or the basketball game are still responsible for completing this work!

Today, 5G was very lucky to listen to a presentation from Grade 6 students Safir and Zoe. These model students outlined for the class what they can expect from the transition to Morven. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask me as we go through the year.

Have a wonderful and healthy night! Ms. Gretzinger's brothers, sister and nephew are here from Ontario - woo hoo!
