Highlights from the kids:

Some students were jazzed about our Area and Perimeter SWYK 😍.
Everyone loved badminton this week!
Hats on for Mental Health
We spent some time on Wednesday learning about and discussing the importance of mental health. We also looked at some diagrams of the brain to help us understand how the brain keeps us safe and supports our mental health. We also did some neurographic art to give us a moment to reflect.
Math
We completed our Area and Perimeter SWYK! Students did great! They have shown much improvement in understanding the formulas and applying them to solve problems. As part of our SWYK, students are also completing an interview where they share their understanding of different units of measure and well as squared units.
Social Studies and Buddies
We are starting to explore Trade routes of Ancient civilizations, and we also had the opportunity visit our buddies who have been working on trades between countries. The grade 5s were able to support their buddies in exporting and importing goods to other groups/countries. We had also had a banker! It was a fun experience!
