Halloween Howl - This Friday! 

Clairlea's Annual Winter Wear Clothing and Equipment Swap

Our crew is heading up, organizing and directing our Annual Winter Wear Clothing and Equipment Swap!  Flyers will go home tomorrow but here are the details. 

Track and Field Day

Congratulations to everyone for a very successful Track and Field Day. Here is a picture of our ribbon winners! What a great effort by everyone in Room 206! So proud of you all! 

This has been a very busy and productive week - and it's only Wednesday! See you all tomorrow!

Track and Field Day on Wednesday

Hi there

Just a head's up that tomorrow - Wednesday -  is Track and Field Day for Grades 4 - 6.  It was a quick, fairly last minute decision - so I hope this gets to you all. 

It's usually in June, but a decision was made to run it tomorrow as there is usually a lot of things going on in June and we often cannot find a day that late in the year to run it.

It will be cold, the field is very wet but it's going to run anyway.

Please send your kids to school with an extra change of clothes and shoes as they will get wet and muddy.

Please spread to as many parents as possible - I sent out an email blast but I do not have everyone's email.

Thanks

Ms Vincent

Hi everyone

Here is an (overdue) update!

Firstly, I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends.

For those involved in Cross Country - please see the athletics blog for an update from 
Ms Purvis. 


Homework went home today. In Math, we have just started rounding. There are two worksheets in the duotang for practicing. If students are uncomfortable with practicing, they should leave the worksheets until later in the week. We will be working on rounding for the rest of the week. 

Homework duotangs can be handed in on Mondays, if students would prefer the weekend for completion. As long as I have the duotangs for Monday when I usually hand out homework. 

Math - we are finishing up Number Sense, working on rounding and will have another assessment next week. As per last year, I will send written Math assessments home in a Math Assessment folder for you to sign and send back. 

Reading - main idea and summarizing. Continuing to use comprehension strategies and making connections.

Writing - Personal Memoir. We have been reading Patricia Polacco, Mr. Wayne's Masterpiece as well as a number of personal experiences from Indigenous writers about their experiences in Residential Schools. Students will begin planning a personal memoir of their own. 

Social Studies - we have started our Early Societies to 1500 CE unit. 

Science - We are working on Rocks and Minerals.

French - Mme Hassanle, who is new to Clairlea with the reorganization, will be our new French teacher. She is young and fun and has lots of energy for our crew. French will officially start with Mme Hassanle this Friday. Students have received a little French with Mme Trott and Mme Hassanle will carry on with her own programme. 

Teachers have started working on Progress Reports and they will go home early to mid November.

Please keep in touch. Any questions or concerns - come and see me, shoot me an email. Whatever is easier.

Thanks, Ms. Vincent
