Homework

Hi all!

I have loved meeting so many families during this interview period, and am looking forward to another round tonight. I so appreciate your support towards me this term, and know that the remainder of the year is going to be great.

Tonight, the children have been asked to complete page 49 in the blue Communicating Skills book. There is a Music exam and French dictee on Tuesday of next week, and a Multiplying and Dividing Fractions test on Wednesday. Reviewing these concepts now would be a great strategy for studying.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Science Fair

Ms. Craig, our Grade 5 Science lead, has created a website to help students with the next steps of the Science Fair project. This is information that is useful for all Grade 5 students, so enjoy!

Grade 5 parents Field Trip to Morven

Hello,

I have been asked to forward along a reminder that the Grade 5 parents who are sending their child to Morven next year are invited to the Morven Campus on Friday February 29^th, 2008 at 8:45 am for the current Grade Six students to give you a tour of the campus. There will be coffee and conversation in the Library with Mr. Reid, Head of the Middle School after the tour.

Homework

Hello!

I hope that everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather - what a wonderful time to be living in Vancouver!

Spelling words this week are based on frequently mis-spelled words in student writing. Hopefully this week will help clear up any uncertainty about their use:

• there
• their
• they're
• I'm
• can't
• they've
• haven't
• we'll
• you're
• wasn't

There is a bright yellow review sheet in the agenda tonight that covers the main review topics for the Poetry test on Wednesday. The students have also packed their Poetry file in their bags to help them study.

A reminder that because of Parent/Teacher interviews this week, dismissal on Wednesday and Thursday is at 1:55. Please make necessary pick-up arrangements.

Please send in Bowling permission forms tomorrow (both blue and yellow sheets so I can organize pick-up arrangements from the bowling alley)

Thank you!

What a week!

The kids were amazing this week! Our SMARTboard is installed and looks wonderful. I'm still learning about the details of the fun and interactive board and on Friday we used it to display the work of Keith Haring, a graffiti artist remembered for his lively colours and reoccurring symbolism.

The end of the day came quickly on Friday and, as a result, I would like to just post some reminders.

The Science Fair projects are great - we have completed the Question and Hypothesis in class, and many children have begun the Procedure. I would like the children to type up the Procedure for Tuesday, so that we can edit it together in the labs during the week. Guidelines for the Procedure can be found in the Science Fair booklet in your child's yellow and purple Science Fair folder.

5G and 2M (our grade 2 buddy class) have planned a bowling trip - there are two notices about this in the agenda (blue and yellow papers). Please sign and return for Monday. Thank you!

Enjoy your weekend!
