Final Math Motion Geometry grade sent home today

By Anonymous -

January 28, 2013

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Attached to this letter is a quiz that your child completed on the third part of our Motion Geometry unit.  We divided the  unit into three components:  translations, rotations and reflections. We are now finished our unit on Motion Geometry and we will be beginning our Multiplication unit this week.

As you can see we have highlighted two scores on the charts below to give you an indication as to how your child performed during the rotations part of this unit as well as for the entire unit.  The first chart indicates a score on rotations and the second chart shows your child`s overall grade for Motion Geometry.  The overall grade is the one that you will see on your child`s Term 2 report card for Geometry.

We have also attached your child`s quiz on rotations. You will see that there is a rubric attached to the first page of the rotations quiz, the score on this page lets you know how your child performed in the reasoning category on Question 1.  As you are aware, reasoning is a separate area on the report card.  For reasoning we like to have a variety of samples as a child can perform quite well in one strand of Math reasoning and then have difficulty in another.  The rubric with the highlighted reasoning grade is not the final grade for the next report card.

Regards,

Deanne Burton-Snow and Christina Pyke

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. 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.

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.
