Another note sent home today

By Anonymous -

Please note:  I did not always highlight the outcome.  I wrote a note to each student at the top of the page to let them know what needed to be done.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to Grade 5!  For the first several days of school we reviewed some Math concepts covered in Grade 4.  Attached to this letter you will see a booklet of work that your child recently completed.  We reviewed the booklets at our grade level and decided that we would send home the work that your child completed so that you can see the areas that your child will need to work on at home in order to be prepared for the demands of the Grade 5 Math curriculum. 

Below you will see a list of the outcomes that were targeted with the booklet.  If a child experienced difficulty in an area we have highlighted that outcome.  We suggest you review the pages in the booklet focusing on that outcome as well as have your child complete the supplementary pages that we have chosen.  It is our hope that by working together we can help ensure that our students feel confident and prepared for Grade 5 and meet with success.

Please sign this cover letter and have your child return it to school to let us know that you have received this package.  You can keep your child’s work at home.  It would be helpful to spend 10-15 minutes each night reviewing concepts that might be proving difficult right now.

·         I can add three digit numbers

·         I can subtract three digit numbers without zeros

·         I can subtract three digit numbers across zeros

Please note, some students did not complete all the pages in the booklet in the allotted time and therefore it would be beneficial for them to complete any unfinished work at home.

Thank you for your help and cooperation with this matter. 

Ms. Sheppard/Ms. Meehan

Ms. Cowley

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. 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 then scroll down to the website f

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.
