Back to work!

We are back to work today. What a wonderful past three days we have had at Eagle Bay. I think that everyone made some memories that will last them a lifetime! It was so much fun we were all sad to go. Everyone seemed a little tired today (myself included)! We had a good day in the classroom today. The highlight - we got to see a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis. Homework tonight:

- home reading
- novel study (these should be complete, we will finish marking tomorrow)
- some still have to hand in their good copy (typed) spinner paragraph
- W.I.T.W. (due tomorrow)
- Eagle Bay/Painted Lady Butterfly journals
- year 4 cursive book (have had over a month to complete this, it is past due)
- climate change papers - all need to be brought back signed

Have a great night and get lots of sleep!

Eagle Bay Information

Information on the Montessori 4/5/6 Eagle Bay Trip

Dear Parents:

Here are a few points to keep in mind about our trip to Eagle Bay on Monday.

1.We ask that no parents come out to the camp unless you have been organized as an overnight chaperone. You can appreciate how difficult it will be for camp staff to have unexpected parents show up at the camp. All events are run by camp counsellors, and thus, parent assistance beyond what we have asked for is not necessary.

2.Dress code: Please be reminded that this is a school district function, and as a result, dress code expectations still apply. With that being said, we would like to ask the children to refrain from wearing spaghetti strapped tops.

3.On Monday May 31st the students will arrive at the school at the regular time. They can drop their supplies in their classrooms (clearly marked with their name on everything) and will attend class until around 10:00. We ask that any parent chaperone be at the school for a meeting by 9:15 am. On June 2nd, students will return to the school around 12:00pm and then will be dismissed to go home. Please arrange for someone to be at the school to pick up you son or daughter.

4.School Rules: Again, as this is a school function, proper behaviour is expected and those who do not abide by the school rules will be dealt with accordingly. Students are expected to respect and obey not only the teachers, but the camp counsellors and parent helpers.

5.Emergency Contact: If parents need to contact their child, please call the camp office @ 250-675-2122

6.If your child requires specific medication to be administered while he/she is at the camp, please have it, in its original container if possible, clearly marked with instructions and your son or daughter's name. All medication will be kept in the possession of the teachers and given out accordingly. You also need to make sure you fill out a form at the office giving us permission to distribute medication to your child if you have not already done so this year.

Thank you for taking the time to read this information. We know that we will all have a wonderful time during our visit to Eagle Bay.

Wednesday

As some children still have assignments that are now going on 3-4 weeks late, I have decided that any homework not completed will result in an email sent home to notify parents. We are getting into the busiest time of the year and not completing homework and handing assignments in on time is holding up the class. Please talk with your child and find out if they have any assignments that they have not handed in.

Homework tonight:

- home reading
- Write Traits lesson 17 (and 16 for those who have not finished it from yesterday)
- Math Year 6 has a test tomorrow
- Novel Study due tomorrow (they have known about this due date for 2 weeks)

Have a good night.

Tuesday May 25, 2010

It's the end of May already? Where has the year gone? It will be a busy couple of weeks. Many of the students were gone to the zone track meet today, I hope they all had a good time and tried their best. Eagle Bay is also coming up on Monday, there will be some more information sent home this week about that. Homework tonight:

- home reading
- Write Traits 16
- Math
- Novel Study

There will be no spelling for two weeks as there were so many away today, and with Eagle Bay next week it will be a short week.

Again, I would like to mention the lack of homework being done. Many children are getting behind in assignments, please make sure your child has his/her homework completed every night, this time of year it is very important not to fall behind!
