Data Management going home tomorrow

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As many of you are aware, just before the holidays we were working on a short unit on Data Management in Math.  I have attached some of the pieces of work that your child completed during the course of the unit to this sheet.  I have also indicated a grade for the unit on this sheet.  As always, the grade is derived from in class work, anecdotal records, work completed with the assistance of technology as well as the samples that you see attached to this letter.

I have listed the I CAN statements for this chapter on the following page.  The I CAN statements represent what your child should have been able to do at the end of the chapter.

Please review this work with your child, sign this letter and then send it back to school so that I can file it for possible reference during our next parent teacher conference.

Regards,

Deanne Burton Snow

 The I CAN statements for this chapter are as follows:

·        I can explain the difference between first hand and second hand data.

·        I can create a question that can be answered using first-hand data.

·        I can explain why my question can be answered using first hand data.

·        I can create a question that can be answered using second-hand data.

·        I can find examples of second-hand data in newspapers, magazines and on the Internet.

·        I can determine the attributes of a double bar graph.

·        I can create a double bar graph with a set of data.

·        I can create a double bar graph using data I have collected.

·        I can answer a question based on information in a double bar graph.

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.  The students are learning how to effectively commu

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.

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.
