Tuesday, September 30

It's hard to believe that September is coming to a close! We've had a great first month of school! Just a reminder that tomorrow is library day for 5HP.

Monday, September 29

Please check the Homework section for the first 3 October memory verses. New spelling words also went home with your child today. If your child didn't return their gym clothes this morning, please remember to bring them to school tomorrow.

Last Friday of September

Gym clothes are going home today to be washed. Please return on Monday. Also a reminder that Friday is art day so please wear suitable clothing. Have a great weekend and enjoy the lovely weather!

Friday is almost here!

Just a reminder that Fridays are busy days in Grade 5! Bible memory is due and it's also spelling test day.  Many students have been forgetting about Bible memory. The September memory verses have been shared with your child and can be found on their google drive. Tomorrow we look forward to hearing presentations from Jax, Ty, Jia Jun, Joel, Noah, Bella and Ishraj about their personal artifacts. The remaining students will present Monday and Tuesday. Have a great evening!

A & E folders

Today your child will be bringing home a yellow duotang entitled "assessment and evaluation". Please look through some of the work we have been doing and sign each page. Please return to school as soon as possible. The duotang will go home every couple of weeks. We have started our personal artifacts presentations in class. I'm looking forward to the rest of the presentations!

Terry Fox Run tomorrow!

Tomorrow we will have our annual Terry Fox run. We are encouraging everyone to bring a loonie or twoonie to put towards cancer research. Come and join us! It looks like it will be a beautiful day! Also, I have shared a bible review document with the students to help them prepare for their Bible quiz tomorrow. Please have them take a peek at it this evening. A reminder that our library class falls on Day 4 on the cycle. And lastly, the bible verse due this Friday is attached.

Deuteronomy 4:19: And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars-all the heavenly array-do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

Monday, September 22

Today was the last day that students were given class time to finish their 3 personal artifacts paragraphs. Presentations will start on Wednesday. Also, there will be 2 short quizzes this week. On Wednesday we will have a quiz on the 7 days of creation. On Thursday we will have a math quiz that will cover place value, rounding and value of digits. We have done lots of work in class to prepare for both of the quizzes. Have a wonderful evening!

Sunday, September 21

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Starting on Wednesday, students will begin their presentations on their personal artifacts. Please have your child tell you what day they signed up for. I have given the students lots of freedom with options of how to present. We will finish up our paragraphs for this  project tomorrow. I'm looking forward to learning more about everyone! Also, please remember that bible memory is due every Friday. Students can say the verse to me at any point during the day (or sooner if they wish).

Poster contest

     It was nice to connect with so many parents this evening at our Meet the Teacher BBQ. Thanks to all who came by the classroom. To those of you who couldn't make it, please feel free to pop into the classroom at any time.
     Tomorrow the students will get their first chance to help Mr. Janzen with collecting the recycling. It's a Grade 5 tradition! Also, students will have their first spelling test and bible memory is due.
     Lastly, today I told the students about an optional poster contest that is being run by the Prairie Livestock Expo. If your child is interested in entering, please let me know and I will forward more information to you. Have a wonderful evening!

Picture Day

Just a couple of reminders of things happening this week:
-Bible memory due Friday
-Meet the teacher BBQ tomorrow
Tomorrow we will be starting our personal artifacts paragraphs at school. Students will be given the chance to sign up for a day next week to present. 

Personal Artifacts Project

Today students were given an outline of a project that we started in class. Please take a moment to have your child show you the outline on their google drive. Today we brainstormed ideas and tomorrow we will start writing paragraphs. Also, just a reminder that TOMORROW IS PICTURE DAY!

Artifact Group Work

Today students worked in small groups to re-construct an artifact, finding clues about the past and the people that once lived in Canada. Please remember to check the "homework" section of the blog. We have a bible memory verse due on Friday as well as our first spelling test.

Under the sea

Today we worked hard on painting our underwater pictures using all of the colors on our color wheel. We look forward to displaying them for our Meet the teacher BBQ next week. Also, please remember that Friday is the day that Bible memory is due. Some students forgot about that today! Have a wonderful weekend!

A day of blogging

Today students created their own blog. Students will be using this blog to keep track of homework and assignments as well as to display different forms of writing.

The weekend is here!

What a wonderful start to Grade 5! We enjoyed our first choir and art class today. Please take note of the purple permission slip being sent home with your child today. It is regarding Phys ed classes being held off site. Please return this slip on Monday. I am also posting our first memory verse that will be due on Friday, Sept. 12th. Happy weekend everyone!

Psalm 24:1-2  "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters."

Raining Cats and dogs!

Today we had indoor recess because of the rain. Today your child has brought home a copy of their email address and password. Also, the boys have gym tomorrow so please bring your gym clothes if you haven't already!

Great First Day!

We had a great first day in Grade 5! It was so nice to re-connect with old friends and to welcome new ones. Just a reminder to students to charge their device tonight and bring it to school tomorrow. See you then!
