Parent Teacher Interview week!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Parent-Teacher interviews will be held this upcoming week.  They will be during the evening on Thursday, March 8th and throughout the day on Friday, March 9th.  I have sent home your interview time with your child and if the time does not work for you, please contact me by e-mail or phone at the school so that we can reschedule for another day or time.  Report cards will be sent home on Wednesday, March 7th.

Looking forward to meeting with you all again this week!

February 6th-10th

This week in Language Arts we will be finishing up our sequencing unit as well as our procedural writing pieces.  Students are creating a procedural picture book to share with their grade one book buddies.  We have also been working through our Solar Systems unit in Science by completing stations in the library.  We should be finishing these by the end of the week or beginning of next week!  We have ended our P.E.I. unit in Social Studies and will be continuing with our next unit on culture.  Grade six students have recently completed a geometry unit in Math and we have started fractions over the past week. 

Next Tuesday is Valentine's Day and students are not obligated, but are welcome to bring in treats and Valentine cards to hand out.  If you child is bringing in Valentine's to hand out, please make sure that they have enough for everyone in our class to avoid any hurt feelings :) (23 students in our 5/6 class).

Have a great week everyone!

Happy New Year!!! January 3-6 2012

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful, relaxing holiday!  I know I did, however it is always nice to get back into a routine.  This week we will be continuing with our Science unit 'Changes in Matter' and will be having a test on this section within the next week.  Our class along with Mrs. Turner's class did an amazing job of their Christmas Around the World country projects!  We were more than impressed by the amount of work that students put into these!  Well done!  Also, thank-you to parents for coming in to watch, supplying materials and treats!  In Language Arts, we will be introducing inferring as a reading strategy and will also be starting explanatory writing.  Student's have started writing short pieces on their New Year's Resolutions today and there are some really thoughtful ones!  In grade 6 math, we are starting Unit 4 which introduces angles and polygons.  I will be begin sending home 'Math Chat' again for this unit every Tuesday night. 

I have sent a book order home today and I am asking that all orders be returned to me by Tuesday January 10th.

Have a great week everyone and all the best to each of you in 2012! :)
