Winter Concert

 If you were fortunate to be able to see one of our concerts yesterday you will already know just how amazing our class performed! I must say that my favorite piece was the Happy Potter chimes! All students blew me away with how great they performed!

With so much illness going around, our class talked about the importance of washing hands in the classroom throughout the day as we want to enjoy our holidays! 

Students are currently working on Region Projects in Social Studies. Please ask the about this!

In Math we are working on a mini unit on Coordinate Geometry. This is one of the easier concepts in grade 5 math, so it is a nice confidence booster. We will be having a quiz tomorrow or Monday. 

We have also been listening to a read aloud book, Turtle Boy. We will be having a check-in quiz on this tomorrow as well. 

This morning after watching the grade 1-3 concert, we went on a winter walk with Mrs. Barr's class around the pond. It was a great way to run off some energy, have a sit spot and it even started snowing for us right at the end. 

Have a great night!

I look forward to working with you to ensure a safe and caring learning experience for your child. First Days of School:   During the first few weeks of school, I will be learning about your child, both personally and academically. As building relationships will be of utmost importance within our cohort classroom among students and myself, we will be spending time getting to know one another in order to build a cohesive classroom community. I will be learning about who your child is, how they learn and what level your child is at, in order to best support them in

 I am very excited to welcome back students for a 4-day week of Back To School! I promise we will get up to a full 5-day week! 😁 Our first couple days were full of getting to know you games and setting routines and expectations! We certainly have a lovely class in Room 126!  Please make sure you get all your forms completed and sent in so that we can start taking walks to the local ponds. I would also appreciate parents completing their security clearances and/or ensuring they are up to date as we will require many volunteers for our week at City Hall School, November 27th - December 1st, as well as a field trip tentatively planned for May to the Military Museum.  This week will be filled with many getting to know you activities and pre-assessments. Pre-assessments are necessary so that I can effectively plan lessons that target each and every learner in our classroom. I share these results with you during each Parents/Teacher conferences. I will share a schedule once things settle a

Field Trip Forms & Pajama Day

 You should have received field trip forms via School Messenger (through the office). If you are not able to print your own forms, let me know and I will send home a paper copy. You can fill them out online and then e-mail them to me as well.  Tomorrow, Friday, November 17th is Pajama Day, only in Mrs. MacQueen & Mrs. Barr's class (not a whole school event). Students earned a reward. They can wear pajamas and bring a small stuffed animal.  Thank you & Have a Great Night!
