Grade 6 Grad Photos

The grade 6's will be taking their graduation photos on Tuesday, Feb 18th.

They are encouraged to wear a white shirt that has a collar. If you don't have one, I believe the photographer has a fake collar that they can put under the robe for their photo. 

Family Life Permission Forms

Mrs O'Neill will be sending home a letter that requires your signature for family life. This is the created sexually theme that involves the discussion about puberty and human sexuality.

This is for the grade 4/5 class.

Grade 4/5 Language Update

We are back to researching and writing with Interesting Research Presentations.  Students chose an interesting topic off a list to research and will create either a Powtoon or a Google Slide presentation.

Checklists and criteria for them to follow are in their Workspace.

Family Life Gr 4/5

Mrs O'Neill will be starting Theme 3 of Family Life in religion shortly with the 4/5 class. This is the created sexually unit and a letter will be going home to notify you. Here is the letter with the links to the content that will be covered.  I think you should be able to access the letter. 

I just checked out the site and it's not really a quick read. I gave up and I'm use to these documents. I'll try to find a more user friendly and to the point one to post.

Because this is a split grade and the content for grade 5 is more mature, I will be joining in and taking the grade 5 class while Mrs O'Neill will focus on the grade 4's. 

The grade 5 content is very important as some of your children might have already started puberty or will be soon enough. Please know that you are the most important source for them to go to with questions. It's a perfect time to break the ice and start having these conversations with them (if you haven't started already).  While I try and be as honest, inclusive, and informative as possible with them, I may ask them to take their questions home to you to answer.

I'm not sure yet when the grade 6's will start their unit with their teacher. I think it will be happening soon. Their teacher will be covering the content with them on their own.

An info sheet for grade 6 parents for grad pics was sent home today.

Unfinished and Overdue Work

Please check with your grade 4, 5, or 6 student to see if they have finished

1) reading their book club book
2) written their summary
3) finished their project

These were all suppose to be finished the week after we returned from the Christmas Break. We have had to move on and those who are not done are falling further behind.

This week we have broken down paragraphs by writing introductions. Have them practice this by giving them topics to write 4-5 sentence introductions.
