Weather looming

By Anonymous -
Ok, so if you have checked out any of the weather forecasts for St. John's for later this week you already know that it is looking like a lot of snow is coming our way.  In the event that schools close sometime during the school day, I have to contact each child's parents.  22 phone calls is pretty hectic in a short time period so in the event that school has to close during the instructional day over the course of the winter I will send out an e-mail to parents who regularly check their e-mail messages during the school day.  If you get the message then you can respond to me to let me know if your child should take the school bus, get picked up by someone, etc.  My intern Ms. Pyke will assist with answering e-mails and/or making phone calls so if you do get a call from a Ms. Pyke you will know that she is my student intern. 

So, what I need parents to do is... send me an e-mail if you are a person who could likely be contacted via e-mail if schools were to close down sometime during the school day.  I'll add you to my list of people to contact and as soon as I get word that we're closing then I'll send out the message.  Then you can start firing back e-mails as to how your child will be getting home.

I hope this all makes sense,
Deanne

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

French quiz and notes

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.
