Day 4 - Monday, March 22, 2010
Newsletter and Report Cards went out today, so please make sure you look those items over carefully.
I would really appreciate having Report Cards back by Friday.
Math Assignment was page 164 all parts (with illustrations) for questions 1, 2 & 3. Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions is what we are working on right now. Later we are
getting into Ratios, Percent and relating Fractions and Decimals to Ratios and Percent.
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.
Craft Club forms and money are due on Thursday for an Easter craft next Wednesday.
Be back on Friday. Have a good week.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
