Welcome to Week 7! (May 18-22nd)

We continue to focus on Poetry for the month of May! Poetry is a fun and creative way to practice our creative writing

skills. It's also a wonderful way to express emotions and create vivid imagery using Figurative Language. This month you will

be creating your very own Poetry Book filled with a collection of poems from an AMAZING writer, YOU!

Our main writing focus will be Poetry this month, but you should still have a novel that you can read every day. Remember,

you should be reading every day. At least 20 minutes is a good place to start.

We will continue to focus on Figurative Language this month. This week we will be looking at onomatopoeia and hyperbole.

These two types of Figurative Language are very important and used a lot in writing poetry. When you create your Limericks

and Diamante poems this week, try hard to use onomatopoeias and hyperbole in your work.

We will be looking at The Quebec Act & Loyalists and The Great Migration in Social Studies and there is an awesome

onomatopoeia Pop Art project you can try! Year End Activity! Each year it has been a tradition for the grade 5 students to

learn and perform the poem "Canada in 90 Seconds" in Social Studies. This year we would like you to learn this poem and

possibly share a video of yourself reciting the poem. Check out our website for a video of the first part of the poem. Each

week we will add another part to memorize.

As always, your teachers are a call, message, Teams or Edmodo away.You can contact us for assistance any time during

office hours from 10:30-3:00 and on Friday, 10:30-11:30. (Or if you just want to check in and chat!)

May Unit of Focus: Poetry & Figurative Language

Get those creative writing ideas flowing!

Remember to keep reading every day! If you have brothers or sisters who also need the computer, you can always do DEAR (drop everything and read). Another option is to journal. If you don't have a journal yet, this is a perfect time to start this. It is a great place to pour your thoughts and feelings. Or write a letter to someone, even if you don't mail it, just get writing!___________________________________________________________________

You should be half-way or more through your May novel by now. When you finish your novel, choose another one to start a new reading adventure!

Some ideas where to get books:Lots of free on-line booksSwap with your brother or sisterNeighborhood mini library—Little Free Library (also a great place for you to share your books)Pick up a book with your groceries at Walmart or Costco!

LIMERICK

Limericks are silly poems that sometimes make fun of

something. The lilt (rhythm or sound) of a limerick is

captivating and helps the listener catch on.

This form is a five-line poem. Lines 1, 2 and 5 contain three

beats which rhyme aa, bb, a. Lines 3 and 4 contain two beats

that rhyme.

Line 1: a

Line 2: a

Line 3: b

Line 4: b

Line 5: aLines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme

Recipe of the Week

Puffed Wheat squares

As part of our traditional Lakeview Grade 5 Farewell, we learn and perform Canada in 90 seconds by the History Teller.We would like to continue this tradition by learning the poem and action over the next 4 weeks, recording a video of you reciting the poem and sharing it on EdmodoBe sure to check out the video of your teachers performing the poem. You can check out the website History Tellers to find more information.

https://www.historytellers.com/gallery

The poem divides the history of Canada into 6 Pillars (obviously not every historical event—we would need more than 90 seconds!)We will say each word clearly with an action

1st Pillar(we don't say this)

1. First Indigenous Nations2. Friends of the Earth3. Masters of the Land

2nd Pillar(we don't say this)

4. Exploration—Colonization5. Viking-Vinland6. European Powers7. England8. France9. Spain10. Glory11. God12. Gain13. Fur and Fish Fights

Brief summary of the poem (clues 1-9)

Say the word in blue while doing the action in redFirst Indigenous Nations-there are 3 indigenous group in Canada, First Nations, Inuit and Metis who live in several distinct land areas.Symbol-pointer finger up—1Friends of the Earth-Most indigenous people believed the land had been made by a Creator or "Great Spirit" therefore everything on earth was sacred and respected.Symbol- hook your pointer fingers above your head, bring hands around to the bottom, the EarthMasters of the Land- each nation had a unique culture, language, and way of hunting and gathering food.The first Europeans could not have survived if the First Nations people had not taught them the skills needed for acquiring food, clothing, and shelter.Symbol- with palm down, do a full sweep of your arm, across the land

Exploration-Colonization-Why did the Europeans come to Canada? Europeans loved luxuries such as silk and spices from India and China. They wanted to find a shorter and cheaper route to the Far East. Exploring west, they hoped to discover a "shortcut".They often staked a flag of their country in the ground to claim it.Symbol-searching and stake the flag

Vikings- Vinland-between the years 900-1000 AD, "Vikings" may have traveled to Canada. In the 1960's a Viking site was discovered in L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland.The helmet with horns is a symbol of Vikings, but it is unlikely they wore this awkward piece of armor.Symbol-outline the horns of the imaginary Viking helmet

European Powers-there was a great power struggle for these new lands. New land meant wealth, power and prestige. Countries with large military force could conquer other countries.Symbol-raise an imaginary barbell, like a weightlifter, 3

times to represent the 3 major powers.

England-John Cabot founded Newfoundland for the King of England. In 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company established fur trading posts.Symbol-point east to England, (hand at about head level)

France-Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain were French explorers who claimed land around the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River.Symbol-point east to France, (hand lower at about shoulder level)

Spain-claimed land in Mexico, Florida and the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus was the most famous Spanish explorer.Symbol-point east to Spain, (hand lower at about waist level)

Brief summary of the poem (clues 10-13)

Say the word in blue while doing the action in red

Glory-many explorers started on their expeditions seeking fame and glory. They were so hungry for this power and prestige they would do anything to reach this goal. Sadly, many First Nations people were hurt or killed as these explores overtook the land.Symbol-both hands to the chest, polishing

God Some explorers were determined to bring Christianity to the people of the new land. Priests and Nuns were encouraged to come to New France. They had to build orphanages, schools, hospitals and churchesSymbol- raise hands to the heavens

Gain-Unfortunately, many explorers lost the vision for furthering their countries' expansion. Some lied to their Kings about the riches in the new land. These men often became disloyal to their King.Symbol-rub fingers together=money

Fur and Fish Fights -the Europeans liked trading furs and fish because they brought great wealth to the merchants and homeland. The English and French fought viciously over these valuable items.A fashion trend in Europe made furs very popular, especially beaver fur hats. All the cool kids were wearing them!!The First Nations people had already established a profitable trading network among themselves.

The French and English quickly realized it was very important to create friendships with the First Nations people. European goods could be traded for furs, fish, food and help to live in the new land.The French formed friendships with the Hurons or Ouendat (Wendat or Wyandot). The English made friends with the Iroquois or Haudenosaunee.Symbol-rub one "hairy arm" reminding you of furs, and then rub the other "scaly arm" reminding you of fish scales. Then put both fists up as though you are ready to fight (put up your dukes)
