Today we began recreating the story of the Prodigal Son. Our focus this week is on Forgiveness. #smcdsblearns #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

At St.Marie, we include everyone! #ITSTARTS County of Simcoe

Today’s group question: How many rectangles can you make with a perimeter of 24cm? If a square is a rectangle, is a rectangle a square? Great discussion! #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

Today we introduced our Gr. 1 tech buddies to coding with Dash and Dot robots. Such great leadership, grade fives! #lifeingr5 #smcdsblearns St. Marie CS

We have had a busy week! Making “blood” to help us learn about the circulatory system, acting out resistance strategies in #btru, creating a unique area/perimeter design and coding with our tech buddies! #smcdsblearns Osmo St. Marie CS

Life has been busy in gr 5! We presented our inquiry projects in SS, MacLaren Art Centre came for an afternoon of clay sculpture creations and we had a jigsaw sharing of the parts of the Easter Vigil. #smcdsblearns St. Marie CS

Today we explored equivalent and comparing fractions, through math games. It’s amazing the learning that takes place through fun! #lifeingr5 #smcdslearns St. Marie CS

Celebrating the successful completion of the Gr. 5 #BTRU program! Thank you to Officer Elisabeth and South Simcoe Police for teaching us such valuable life skills. #lifeingr5 #smcdsblearns St. Marie CS

We have been so busy! The summer countdown is on. But first, Science experiments investigating physical & chemical changes and probability outcomes in our Math groups. #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

As we approach the end of the school year, it’s amazing to see how our cooperative learning has grown since September! #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

It’s June?! You wouldn’t know it in our classroom! We are still actively challenging ourselves with group math problems of the day! #probability #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

Saying goodbye to this group of amazing learners was bittersweet. They are moving on to bigger and better things in grade 6, but wow - I will miss them! #lifeingr5 #ontogr6 St. Marie CS

Letters like these remind me of how lucky I am to have a vocation that is so rewarding. Thank you student “S” for warming my heart. ❤️ #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

We are BACK! Another group of amazing gr 5’s has filled room 129. So far we’ve explored place value through games, collaborated in gym and chosen #oneword to focus on this year! #smcdsblearns #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

What do you do when thunderstorms cancel your Terry Fox run? How ‘bout Mental Math Addition War! #lifeingr5 #smcdsblearns #friendlynumbers St. Marie CS

Today we discovered that there are really only 21 multiplication facts that are left to learn. We knew more than we realized! #lifeingr5 #mathwizards St. Marie CS

So, we decided to play some multiplication speed games to get us ready. #smcdsblearns #lifeingr5 St. Marie CS

Love watching the lightbulbs click! #mathwizards St. Marie CS

Today we enjoyed virtual Morning Prayers and Reflection with Father Josh. Wonderful start to a beautiful Monday morning! ☀️#lifeingr5and6 St. Marie CS
