Interview Week!

It has been an exciting couple of weeks in grade five!  We have been getting a great deal accomplished and are racing toward the end of November at break neck speed!  Hang on!

OF SPECIAL NOTE

 • We have a special guest in our room until mid-December!  Her name is Miss Dupas and she is an education student from this University of Lethbridge.  Not only has she been teaching lessons in math, health and science, she has been a wonderful helper to everyone in our room.  We are lucky to have her!

• I hope everyone had a chance to celebrate report cards this weekend!  This is an awesome group of kids, who work hard, and they have made great strides this year!

More news:

*There will be no school on the afternoon of Thursday, November 22^nd as well as Friday, November 23^rd. It is time for Parent/Teacher Interviews!  I would love to show off some of the work the crew has completed so please consider booking an interview using the following link:

*Remember this Wednesday is our Hot Lunch day and it is also the day of another special event- La Tire!  Ask your child for an explanation of the yummy fun planned for the day!

*We are collecting tabs off of pop cans to support a very worthy cause and a very worthy lady.  One of our regular guest teachers, Mrs. Byam, spoke to us recently about the Ronald MacDonald House and the service they provide to families who have children being treated at the Children’s Hospital in Calgary.  As a school, we are collecting pull tabs for the Ronald MacDonald House and I have provided the link below so you can read more about this incredible place:

Language Arts

The first Pirate Menu items were impressive and inspiring. The students had an opportunity to view their classmates’ work during a recent gallery walk.  The crew has been hard at work on developing ideas for the pirate paragraphs and we hope to have them ready for pirate parent perusal at interview time!

Math

Congratulations are in order to every student of the class on the latest math unit test!!  Wow!  Geometry is the next bog concept and Miss Dupas already has students completing vocabulary presentations!  Check out the math tab above for Geometry games!

Science

This week is a tidying up loose ends and review week for our weather unit!  The unit test is planned for early next week so please look for a review sheet to come home with a duo tang!

Health

We have been creating Learning Ladders.  If you would like to know what these are, they will be up in time for interviews this week!  Oh, the intrigue!
