Math
Once a week they get a review sheet. It is always given on Friday and is due on the following Wednesday.
We're also working with place value and doing things with big numbers. They need to be able to work with numbers up to 1 000 000.

Final Thoughts

Year end
Dear Parents,
On Tuesday, June 23 the grade 5 students will be cleaning out their desks, lockers and classroom storage area taking their belongings home for the year. As this always involves a lot of "stuff" please make sure that they have enough bags or backpacks. If it's possible it might be a very good idea to pick them up at school that day. Riding a bike and carrying everything could be very dangerous.
The grade 5 class will be having a "Last Day of School Fun Day" Thursday, June 26th. This will be a day of fun with outdoor activities, weather permitting, and a chance to enjoy some time as a class as the school year draws to a close. In the morning is fly some kites and/or play some kickball. I have a few kites that students can fly in groups but if students want to bring flyers from home that would be fine. I will be bar-b-cueing hot dogs and providing drinks for the kids at lunch that day so you won't need to pack a lunch. Mrs. Mullin and her committee of helpers (thank-you so much for everything this year) may contact you to provide some treats for the afternoon. We will be enjoying a film until about 2:30 when I will give out report cards and placement certificates.
On a personal note it has been my privilege to teach these wonderful children of yours this past year. They truly are a great example of "community" for the school and the world. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be their teacher. As I take on a new challenge for next year, as I will not be at St. Joseph's, I know I will miss seeing these students as they go through grade 6. My wish is for the students and you to have a wonderful, restful, summer and come back refreshed for what I am sure will be another amazing year.
Kind regards,
Ken Hakstol

Also, Dr. David Renter from the U of L was the saxophone clinician for our headstart clinic back in September. He's got a great website that you can hear him playing and his compositions. I've attached the link so have a look and have a listen!
