Learning Updates:

In ELA we worked on our Harry Potter blackout poems and had a free write this week. 
In Mathematics we talked about and compared the lattice method and traditional methods for multi-digit multiplication. I included links that explore both concepts for students to review. Please have students try a couple multi-digit multiplication question using both methods (and they can even include the box method too!). 
We had a couple extra music periods this week to rehearse for the concert next week!
No art this week (except for what was included in our poetry)
We had some time with our Reading Nooks this week
In grade 5 science, we talked about the difference between acids and bases and explored the ph scale using an online tester. We will have an end of unit test on Monday.
In grade 6 social studies, students wrote a quiz this week. 
As we prepare for our week at SEED School, we talked about difference between what we might notice in the downtown area of Calgary compared to different suburbs.

Have a great weekend everyone!
