Day 5 - Friday, May 29, 2009

What a great day for Track and Field! The students did a great job in their various competitions.

Ask your child for the "bright blue" note that was sent home today. It is in regard to Rodeo Parade and permission and also about the upcoming trip to the theatre on Tuesday afternoon to watch the movie "Earth", thanks to the generosity of our SCC. There is no money required for admission or treats (SCC covered it), but it is just to let you know where your kids are.

The grade 6 class needs to complete several tests for the CAT (Canadian Achievement Tests) in Language Arts and Math, over the next two weeks. It is essential that your child participate in this nation-wide testing. So, attendance is really important every day.

Have a great weekend and I will be here next Tuesday and Thursday.

Day 3 - Wednesday, May 27, 2009

A little bit of homework for students to do up. It is important that it gets done, with track meets taking up time, plus other grade 6 and school events taking away class time.

L.A. - Spaced Out Food article: summarize 12 points.
Social Studies - page 12, map of USA states labelled.

Remember to come fully prepared for the track meet on Friday.

See you then.

Day 1 - Monday, May 25, 2009

Hi (from home - school internet wouldn't let me on),

We had a good and productive Monday. Enjoy the beautiful weather.

Be sure to go over the areas that caused you trouble for the Math test on Wednesday.

You also need to have the "French Fish" done for Miss Riddell for tomorrow.

Don't miss the Musical performance, I Need a Vacation, at the UPS gym Tuesday evening at
7 p.m. The students have done a marvelous job on this.

Lastly, students will be running the 400 and 800 meter races on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon, so they should come prepared for those races.

So long for now.

Day 5 - Thursday, May 21, 2009

We worked like beavers today and got Math corrections done, Math assignments completed and corrected and also wrote a Social Studies quiz.

Besides that, we enjoyed watching the "musical" dress rehearsal. The School Tees orders arrived. We were pleased with that.

There is a Math test on Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Please be here for it and be ready. It will cover mixed numbers and improper fractions, ratio and percent and relating percent to decimals and fractions. In class work has been very good, but you need to do well on the test, too.

Have a good weekend and start reviewing your Math now in case you have to have me clarify something for you on Monday.

See you then.

Day 3 - Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Welcome back from the long weekend. Interesting weather to try to "dress" for, isn't it?

About 1/3 or 33% of the class has Math homework. Be sure all the pages up to and including page 73 are completed. Check the instructions.

There is a Social Studies quiz on Thursday on the first section of our unit on Canada's Trading Partners. Study and read over the notes and questions up to where we completed today.

Tomorrow is Sports Spirit Day.

The Track and Field day is scheduled for Friday, May 29th and the play - A Distrubing Secret - will be performed on June 2nd at 9 a.m.

That's all for now.

Day 1 - Thursday, May 14, 2009

Not too much to report today.

Some students have Math to finish up and hand in for correcting. Make sure it is done for Tuesday!

The 6's may be picking garbage tomorrow if the weather isn't any worse than today, so they need to have gloves, proper footwear and outerwear.

Students involved in the grade 6 play need to make sure that the props they promised are here and ready to go for Tuesday.

Sports Spirit Day is next Wedneday.

Have a great long weekend.

Day 5 - Tuesday, May 12, 2009

Another week well underway.

The chicken strip/potato wedge lunch is tomorrow, May 13th.
Scholastic Book Orders are due on Thursday, May 14th.

Math homework - corrections and complete pages on percent up to and including page 63 in your duotang. Be careful and accurate.

Stay caught up!

See you on Thursday.

Day 3 - Friday, May 8, 2009

Another week is behind us. The time is going so quickly.

Some students may have Math to finish up. We are currently working on Fractions, Ratios and Percent and the relationships among them. The only fraction concept students need to master is changing mixed numbers (like 3 1/2) to an improper fraction (7/2) or the reverse, improper fractions to mixed numbers. ex: 10/3 = 3 2/3. Also putting these mixed number fractions into simplest form ex: 2/4 = 1/2. Please let me know if you find your child not able to do these things at home.
Tuesday we start into percent.

The next "hot lunch" from the SCC is on Wednesday the 13th.

Have a Happy Mother's Day, Moms.

Day 1 - Wednesday, May 6, 2009

Just two things:

Some students have a Science Test rewrite tomorrow (May 7th).
Some students will be staying for craft club tomorrow.
