I hope you all had a nice relaxing Easter Break - except for the tension of the blizzard with those incredibly strong winds.

Today the grade 6's started learning about "ratio". Try to think of as many places in our daily lives that we use ratio.

From before the break - students had Health Journals to work on and French "Goofy" sentences to write.

For tomorrow, the French is due and hairdryers are needed for Science.
Health Journals are required at school on Wednesday.

I will be away at a course for the next 3 days, so I will not be making regular blog entries. Students should be writing in their Day Planners faithfully, anyway.

Be back on Friday. Have a good week.

Friday, March 19, 2010

Hooray, it's Friday!!

Day 2 - Thursday, March 18, 2010

Back to normal for a school day. The grade 6 students who were present completed the Assessment for Learning Field Test today. They completed it within the hour given. If you were absent today, you will need to catch up this assessment as soon as you are back to school.

There is not too much time left for the Junior Genius work to be done. Twelve (12) days before the presentation day and only 4 classes left for the work, so you will have to make sure you are doing all that you can to work on your own.

Poems for Music Festival are also coming along, however, certain students need to work very hard to learn the words. You know who you are and what areas need the most work. Practice, practice, practice!!

Science is for homework.

See you tomorrow.

Day 1 - Wednesday, March 17, 2010

It was a green kinda day! Happy St. Patrick's Day. The grade 4,5,6 curling went well, but I noticed that the grade 6's were very tired this afternoon. They tried to stay working, but I think a really early night and a good sleep will help alot.

Tomorrow we are conducting the AFL (Assessment for Learning) Math Field Test. This is a grade 5 level test for grade 6's to complete to help advise the Ministry of Learning how this test could be improved before it is used as an assessment tool for Grade 5 in 2011.

The students also realized today, when we were practicing our Music Festival Choral Speaking poems, just how much they actually have memorized and where they need to work on the memorization. There is a lot of work to do in the next week for this work to be up to standard.

SCC Sub Lunch is tomorrow.

Also, tomorrow is supposed to be quite a lot cooler than the last several days, so make sure you are dressed for the weather.

Day 6 - Tuesday, March 16, 2010

The students report they had a fantastic day of skiing at Table Mountain. Those of us who had to stay and teach or learn had a great day, too.

Tomorrow is the 4,5,6 curling in the morning, only. Students will need to be at the school by 8:45 in order to get over to the rink by 9:00 and organize themselves for the first draw which will commence at 9:15.

Regular classes will resume in the afternoon.

The SCC's sub lunch is on Thursday.

Day 5 - Monday, March 15, 2010

Thanks for getting all of the SLC binders and portfolios back on time.

The Math test was marked and students were able to see their tests and record their marks. Those same marks will be recorded in the Report Card for Term 2 which will be sent home on Monday, March 22nd.

The 4,5,6 ski trip is tomorrow. Students need to be ready to leave the school by 8:45 a.m. Be sure that alternate arrangements are made to get home since you will not be able to use the buses. Your expected arrival back at the school is between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. Have a great ski day!

The sub lunch by the SCC is on Thursday, March 18th.

The grade 6's will be completing a Math Field Test for Sask. Learning. This test involves grade 5 content in all areas of math. We are currently doing some review of this material so that the students are well-prepared to write this test and do well on it. Please make sure that you are at school Wednesday, Thursday and Friday so that you don't miss the review and you don't miss the test.

4,5,6 curling is on Wednesday morning, only. Regular classes will resume in the afternoon.

Day 4 - Friday, March 12, 2010

Good job for those students who have most of both poems memorized.

Next week - ski trip, curling and the sub lunch is on March 18th.

Have a great, sunshiny weekend.

Day 3 - Thursday, March 11, 2010

Hooray!! Thanks to Brett Wick's good fortune in the Book Fair draw, our classroom also won $25.00 worth of books and merchandise from the Book Fair. So, we have three brand new novels on our classroom rack. Look for Ender's Game, The Toilet Paper Tigers and Killer Pizza. Thanks to Spencer and Zak for helping pick those out.

Math Test tomorrow. Please don't miss it. Art activities in duotang are due for tomorrow by the end of the day.

Make sure the SLC Binders and Art Portfolios are coming back with the Goals form and the Parent evaluation form completed.

Poem memorization is coming along well. Keep it up.

Day 2 - Wednesday, March 10, 2010

We have continued to prepare for the Math test. I see on the Reflecting on Learning sheets the students handed in that Writing a Clear Explanation of a procedure using appropriate terminology was marked the most often as "having trouble with this". These are the "How do you know" "Explain your strategy" type questions. All of the students have struggled with this, some more than others. I told them to write as if I did not know anything at all and so that once they were done the explanation, I would have to know how to do it.

There are a few Art designs that need to be finished up for Friday and handed in.

The Book Fair ends tomorrow.

Junior Genius projects are in "high gear" and students need to stay very focussed on what needs to be done and the deadlines.

Thanks for checking in.

Day 1 - Tuesday, March 9, 2010

We are preparing for the upcoming Math test on Friday, so there won't be any new assignments. It is important that corrections are done up so that if there are any questions, they can be addressed by Thursday's class.

French is due on Wednesday.

Keep working on the poems for Festival.

Day 4 - Wednesday, March 3, 2010

There is a little bit of Math for a few students to finish up. Corrections are always due the next day. We were learning about quadrilaterals today and the sum of interior angles in quadrilaterals and reviewing about the sum of interior angles in triangles. Make sure you know these two rules, solidly. Then, be sure you know how to apply them. to solve problems and find the measurement of missing angles.

Sub Lunch forms are due on Friday.

Book Fair starts next week.

Ski Trip forms have gone home and need to be back by Friday, March 5, 2010. Please make sure all pages that require information and/or signatures are completed.

Our Angles unit Math test is next Friday, March 12th. If you want review pages, you just have to ask.

Day 3 - Tuesday, March 2, 2010

What great March weather we are having. I wonder if the groundhog was incorrect in his prediction.

Students have Math corrections. I have been very disappointed in the effort to hand in accurate and complete Math work and subsequently, the lack of effort to do any corrections.

If students are having difficulty, they need to make an effort to come earlier in the morning to get help or stay after school. Unfortunately, with the many other things going on in the school, I am not always available to help at recess and noon. So, the onus is on the student to make some effort to ask for help instead of just ignoring the work and hope it will fix itself. We are way too close to the end of the year to let things slide.

Student-Led Conference schedule of times note will go home tomorrow. Please watch for it.

A Sub Lunch is coming up and forms need to be returned with the correct $$ by Friday.

Memorize the Festival poems.

The Book Fair is next week so I will not be sending home book orders until later in the month.

Tomorrow is the last day to purchase Telemiracle helping hands.

Day 2 - Monday, March 1, 2010

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Some students have succumbed to a cold/flu/cough - so - stay healthy.

Math page 148 & 149 is homework. Please finish the assignment and hand it in tomorrow at 9:00. If you have difficulty with a question, let me know. From Thursday students were to have done questions 1, 2, and 3. Do the corrections in those and old corrections, too. The rest of the assignment is all parts of q's 4 to 9. Question 10 is not assigned.

Memorize your two poems for Friday.

Sub Lunch forms went home today. They are due back on Friday.

Student -Led Conferences are on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. I will confirm your time by the end of this week.

There is no school on Monday, March 8th - PD for teachers and EA's.

Stay well and see you tomorrow.

Friday, February 26, 2010 - Day 1

We had "big time fun" for the UPS Olympics afternoon. Luge, Bobsleigh, Biathlon, Curling and Paralympic Sledge Hockey were enjoyed by 19 different countries.

It was great to see so many parents join us and help out with the hot dog lunch and the games afterward. Thank you.

No homework for grade 6 so that means you have extra time to memorize our poems.

Day 3 - Monday, February 22, 2010

Welcome back. I hope you had a good break. I don't see much of the grade 6's on Day 3 so I did not have a chance to find out how they spent their week off. Mine was extremely busy on school work, mostly, and at Convention.

The students have a Health assignment due for Friday morning.
Students should also make a concerted effort to memorize the first 8 stanzas of our two poems for Music Festival. Our time to practice as a group will be to focus on expression and enunciation not learning the words.

There are a few stgudents who have Math to finish up and corrections to do. We are almost at the end of this unit on decimals so start reviewing and get ready for a test.

Sub Lunch forms due on Thursday; craft club also due tomorrow. Student clothing forms due on Friday.

Students - have the dates (month and year, if possible) of the 10 important events in your life here for Monday, including the "historical event".

A couple of students still need to finish their Social - Island of Zane activity for tomorrow, too.

Lovely weather - go for a walk.

Day 3 - Monday, January 11, 2010

What pleasant weather we have been given!

Newsletters were sent by email today. Check on line for your copy. Book Orders are due tomorrow, Craft Club permission forms and Sub Sale forms are due on the 14th. Student clothing forms are due on the 15th.

Students in grade 6 have been asked to find out at least 10 dates of important events in their lives so that they can create personal time lines. This has to be done at home as I would be unable to help them with this personal information.

Check in again tomorrow.

Day 2 - Friday, January 8, 2010

The students worked hard today in my classes. The process of long division with and without decimals is finally starting to come more easily and the students are getting more confident. Thanks for sticking with it.

Today, a Math assignment was given for pages 106 and 107. Students need to be finished to the end of question 8 for Monday. If they finish the whole assignment for Monday that is okay, too.

The students also have been given their final mapping assignment in Social Studies. They will have sufficient class time to get it done, however, it will have to be done for the end of class on Tuesday, so pacing is important.

Newsletters were emailed out today. A paper copy was sent with students who do not have email addresses supplied to the school.

Look for school clothing order forms which were sent home with your student today.

Book orders are due on Tuesday, Sub Lunch forms and money are due on Thursday and UPS Clothing Orders are due in on Friday.

Let's hope the warmer weather comes soon.

Have a great weekend.
