Ms. Hildebrandt's Agenda

Math This week we wrapped up our coordinate geometry unit and began moving into addition and subtraction. Students worked hard to apply what they know about number sense while practicing their basic facts, building confidence and fluency that will support our upcoming learning. It was great to see students staying focused and pushing themselves, even when the work felt challenging. Physical Education In gym, students practiced skipping and had fun challenging themselves with new tricks. Skipping is a great way to build coordination and endurance, and there was lots of perseverance and encouragement as students tried new skills and celebrated each other’s successes. Art We ended the week with a watercolor art lesson, creating polar bear portraits. Students focused on blending colors and experimenting with layering to create soft textures and depth. Each piece turned out beautifully, and it was wonderful to see students take creative risks with blending and feel proud of their work.

Reminder for students participating in the Science Fair:  Please make sure to join the Science Fair Google Classroom for important updates and information. The invitation link can be found on  5D’s Google Classroom . What a fantastic week in 5D! Field Trip! We kicked off the week with our field trip to the Hangar Flight Museum! Students explored a variety of historic aircraft during our guided tour. Some class favourites included the Quickie 2 and the impressive Avro Lancaster . After the tour, we headed into the Rocket Lab where students built and tested their own launchers, experimenting with how thrust affects flight. Procedural Writing Back in the classroom, students applied what they learned in the Rocket Lab to strengthen their procedural writing skills. We reviewed what makes detailed step-by-step instructions effective—specific verbs, precise descriptions of size and location, and clear organization.
