Math homework this week

Dear Parents and Guardians,
The quest to make my students better Math multiplication students continues this week.  The students are telling me that they have really enjoyed playing the Math games that I have been sending home.  Special thanks to all the Nans and Pops who helped the students learn their facts. 
I have tried to reiterate with the students that it is important to commit their facts to memory.  This week I am sending home some good practice.  The students have learned to solve problems the traditional way (i.e. the way you would have done it in school) so this is the method I would like them to try to perfect this week.
The curriculum outcome for Grade 5 states that the students should be able to multiply two digit by two digit numbers.  Your child has 4 sheets to complete this week.  One page should be completed each night as it is better to work 15-20 minutes each night rather than complete all the work in one night.  Please help to guide your child through the work.  Most of the children can now complete the problems independently; however, there are some who like a little reassurance so try not to be too far out of reach if they need a hand.  Checking over the work with your child is a great way to review any small errors.

Thanks again for your help,

Deanne Burton Snow

St. John's Recycling

Well today history was made for many people in the East End of St. John's.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the blue bags of recycling on my street this morning!  At Mary Queen of Peace we recycle on a regular basis.  We recycle juice containers and our paper.  As a teacher I am trying to do my part by double siding my photocopying more regularly.  I also like to remind my students to use up all the space in their exercise books before they begin a new page.  Part of our Health program this year involves learning about the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).  If you have a chance please talk to your child about the importance of recycling.  It is their planet and they are our future!  Have a look at the photo of my recycling below. As for what was happening in our class today... the friendly letters were continued.  Many thanks to the parents who have already supplied mailing addresses. Math today was a little rough....

French quiz and notes

By Anonymous -
From now on I will be posting notes that I give my class under the NOTES section of this blog.  If you click on NOTES you will see this message. September 24, 2013 Dear Students, Parents and Guardians, On __________________ , 2013 the Grade 5 students will be having a French quiz on their colours and numbers to 30. To prepare for this quiz the students should know their basic colours in French.   They will be asked to color some small pictures.   Each picture will be labeled with a color.   Here is a list of the colors that the students should know:   rouge-red, bleu-blue, jaune-yellow, brun-brown, blanc-white, noir-black, violet-purple, vert-green, orange-orange. For the second part of the quiz, I will be calling out a number between 1-30 and the students will need to write the number that I say.   Please note that students will not be asked to write the number in words .   Please visit http://mqpschool.net/ , click on Teachers and...

Our Plays

By Anonymous -
Today we officially unveiled our plays to some wonderful audiences.  We began our day by presenting to Ms. White's class as well as Ms. Harris, Mme. Collett and Ms. Cleary.  The students also performed for their Kindergarten buddy readers and this afternoon they will perform once more for Mr. Yetman's class. Tomorrow I will be videotaping the students as they present their plays.  I plan on creating two cd's so that one boy and one girl can take home the video each night.  It should take about ten school nights before everyone at home sees the great work!  I am sure all parents are excited to see how the plays turned out. Many thanks to the parents who sent in props for our play.  A big thank you to all the parents who ran lines with their child in preparation for today's performance.
