Monday Oct 18th

Hi
I am madly zipping around trying to prepare for a parent meeting tonight. I am looking forward to it but there is a lot to do to be ready. Thank-you to all parents who returned the meeting forms. I'll see some of you tonight and the rest on Wednesday Oct 27th.

Homework tonight
Math complete the worksheet on Exponents and powers (most were nearly finished in class) for tomorrow
Novel read chapters 11-15 and visualize after each chapter a picture that you could use to remember what the chapter was about. For example in Ch 11 a sled comes to mind (he receives the memory of the sled).
This is to help with your visual-literal poster activity
Spelling Unit 5
incomplete class activities- did you finish and hand in the paragraph activity and the word search activity for unit 5 spelling?
Reminders

General Day
Productive morning
returned spelling and prepped Unit 5 for Thursday
Looked closely at run-on-sentences and re-created a paragraph of sentences form one 18 line sentence :)
Math- follow up problem solving, exponents worksheet (some started on Divisibility) and rounded the morning off with a list of how to improve math achievement generally.
DEAR time was very good once everyone had settled
thank-you to the students buddy reading for Mrs. Parker's grade 5's
French les maisons hauntees- the students create a house first- then use their prior knowledge, dictionary, the vocabulary words in class and on their handout to label thjeir houses and halloween creatures en francais.
Agendas and clean up- students are not all using (or bringing) their agendas!
Volleyball- Phys. Ed. nets were up- rotation of skills session and mini-games boys against girls. Better general behaviour but still a few who can't help themselves (or me apparently)!!
Dismissal came too quickly at 3pm
Have a nice evening- see some of you tonight.
Mrs. J.
