Sorry this is later than usual - internet not working at school, again!
The only "homework" thing to remind students of is to study for the Social Test on Tuesday. It involves the map grids and latitude and longitude sections of our current unit - Determining Position and Direction. Make sure you get latitude lines run east and west, but is recorded in terms of north or south of the equator and longitude lines go north and south, but are recorded in terms of east or west of the Prime Meridian. If you have that straight, you're on your way. Then study all of the terminology we covered and time zone information.
Reminders - play parts for the Christmas Concert were distributed today, learn your lines and make sure you have your script at school every single day.
- Pizza lunch orders are due on Tuesday, December 2nd.
- raffle tickets - by Dec. 10th.
- Eco-Extravaganza on Thursday, December 4th.
Have a great weekend!

Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - Day 5
Half way through another week. The time is going so quickly. It is scary to count the days before Christmas break - so don't.
We continue to work on Math together in class as much as possible, but students need to make sure that they are keeping up. For Friday, they need to make sure that all questions up to and including R26 are complete.
There is no other homework from today.
Reminders - students going to volleyball tomorrow - will probably not be back quite in time to catch the bus, so be prepared to come and pick them up if you live out of town.
Sell those raffle tickets. The sold ticket stubs and money all have to be in by December 10th.
Pizza lunch forms must be in by December 2nd.
Good job students staying on top of all of the things that are going on.
Lastly, forms called ROA's which are Record of Adaptations were sent home with any student who receives any kind of change to their regular programming. Sask Learning requires parent signatures on these forms and they must be back tomorrow, as Sask Learning wants them on Friday. Beauracracy!!
Thanks, again.

Day 3 - Thursday, November 13, 2008
It's been a long time since I last logged on. There are still some students who need to finish Math - Sums and Differences & Compensating pages. I need marks for your report cards. These people know who they are and their books must be handed in tomorrow - yes, Friday - in order for them to be corrected in time for marks to be put into the Report Cards.
For 3 people - Social Studies Mapping Activity 5 must be done for Monday, too.
Lamontagne orders are in and a note went home today advising when pick up can be made. The orders are in the old "cadet" room down by the grade 3 & 4 classrooms.
Our next Spirit Day is Thursday, November 20th. Students are to wear a yellow ribbon or some yellow clothing - to show support for the men and women fighting in wars or in peace keeping missions in the hope that they return home safely.
Library class is on Monday, November 17, so please be sure your books are at school then.
That's all for now.

Friday, November 7, 2008 - Day 1
Another week is behind us. Time flies when you are having fun and very busy.
Today, the students who participated in the Remembrance Day Service did an outstanding job. Those who were observers showed respect and remained quiet during the service. We appreciate that. Then, there were the many grade 6's who took their noon recess to stack and put away chairs, take down decorations, put away mats. They were quick and efficient. Thank you all.
Math today we learned about compensation in estimating. There is a sheet to complete using that skill. The last 4 pages in the Sums and Differences booklet (plus any unfinished pages) must be completed for next Thursday. Remember, you are aiming high for at least an 80%. So no more than 2 or 3 mistakes per page will keep you up there. Be careful, be neat.
Social Studies mapping Activity 5 also needs to be close to completion for Thursday. You will only have about 10 minutes to finish everything up.
Book Orders are due on Wednesday. I will pick them up at the end of the day.
Have a good lo-o-o-n-n-g-g weekend. Come back refreshed.
Chat with you next week.

Wednesday, November 5, 2008 - Day 5
Another day has zipped by.
Math - the next 4 pages of Sums and Differences Math was instructed today, so by Friday, only the last 4 pages should remain. Some students have already finished the booklet - good for you!
Social Studies - we worked on the Island Activity 5 - p. 60 - creating our own island with 10 towns or cities and using the coordinates of latitude and longitude to locate them. There will only be a short amount of time in Friday's class to finish these up. So make sure your question and answer sheets are complete.
There are still some Parent Teacher Interview forms that need to come back by tomorrow.
Book orders (4 in all) will be going home tomorrow and are due back on Wednesday, November 12th.
Thanks for your time.

Day 3, Monday, November 3, 2008
Sorry for the lateness of this post. The internet was down all day at school and I only just am able to get to this from home, now.
A letter and attached request form was sent home today with regard to Parent-Teacher conferences. These need to be completed and back to the school by no later than Thursday so that schedules of interview times can be done up. Note the difference for the grade 6 interviews. As I have to also do interviews at Norman Carter (my other school), I have some slightly different times on the 19th and 20th. Also, as Mr. English prefers to not be scheduled, if you do wish to see him, please see him after your scheduled interview times so that the scheduled times don't get too far off track.
Continuing on with the brief refresher unit on Adding and Subtracting in Math 6, the next 4 pages in the booklet are due for Wednesday. Please check that all previous pages and assigned questions are also completed. Remember also, students, the 80% target you are aiming for to not have to write a unit final test. Do your best work! Aim high, you can do it!
