LCM and HR

Bonjour!

The students chose their first LCM book today and some chose a HR book from the classroom.

The students are expected to read in English and in French everyday.  Their sheet should be signed once a week indicating the book (or books) their child has read.  If the students have read the same book (a novel) throughout the week, parens are only expected to sign for that book once, but indicate that their child read the same book,

The students also chose a French book from the classroom library and may change their books throughout the week.  If they are confident that they can choose a different level book, they can come and see me and I will read with them.

I will also test them once or twice a month to make sure they are choosing books appropriate for their reading skills.

If you do have any questions, please feel free to email me (scraciun@sjsd.net).

Merci!

Grade 5 Farewell BBQ

Good morning,

Bria's mom Christine has organized a BBQ following next week's farewell. It will take place at Assiniboine Park from 3:30-7:30. It is up to parents to arrange for transportation. 

She has sent home a paper along with a map and her contact info. She is asking that parents RSVP to her by Monday. The cost will be around $5 a person. 

If your child has lost the sheet, please let me know and I will send another one home.

Cookies

Good afternoon. 

Today we had a chance to make cookies. The students made some changes to their recipe and were asked to identify the chemical reactions they observed. And of course they were able to eat them. 

A big thank you to Mme Perry, my friend Michelle, Lori Lewis (Kiara's mom), and Rose Borgford for all of your help. The students really enjoyed the experience.

Homework for the Week

Good morning,

I've handed out a reading text that the students are to read during the week entitled Jimmy Goes Home.  They are then to answer the questions in a full sentence.  It will be due on Friday.  If they finish early, they will not have any homework for the rest of the week.

Just a reminder that the students will also be presenting their poems this week.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Poems

Good afternoon,

Yesterday I sent the students home with a list of poems that they are to memorize.  Each day next week (beginning on Monday), the students will present their poem to the class.  A few students have asked if they can memorize a Shel Silverstein poem that they had already practiced for the divisional auditions and I said that was fine.

I also included a copy of the rubric.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
