Good evening everyone,
Today the students performed in the school Holiday Concert. For those parents who were able to make it, I am sure we all can agree that we each had a big smile on our faces as we watched the students perform so well. I always love watching the students display their talents.
Tomorrow we will be having a pancake breakfast with Mr. Martyn's class. Students have been informed that if they would like to they can bring an additional snack for the class as long as there is enough for everyone to share as well as remaining nut free. (WE DO HAVE STUDENTS WITH NUT ALLERGIES IN THE CLASSROOM).
This will be my last post before the Christmas break. There is no homework over the break.
To all those families who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and to those who spend the holidays in other ways, I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday.

Goodevening everyone,
I would like to respectfully request that parents take the time to discuss with students the discussion that we had today as a class regarding the expectations on them as students. We have had some issues with behavior of the class and unfortunately it has been noticed by multiple teachers in the school. Today we discussed how we are a great group of students and how we do not want to have a reputation which is not an accurate reflection of the terrific young men and women that they truly are. Thank you to everyone for your support in this. Our students truly are great, we are just finding that some fine tuning regarding classroom behavio ur has become necessary.
Here is tonight's homework.....
Grade 5 & 6
Math - multiplication table practice
-math page questions 5 and 6
Literacy - Read 30 minutes, Reader's Notebook
-Research person/organization
-Libarary books due back
Have a great night!

Goodevening everyone,
Thank you to all who have donated to the food drive. It is greatly appreciated. We have been talking a lot in class about the value in helping others, and how it makes us feel great inside when we do something to brighten someone else's day. I always find it extremely encouraging when I see students take steps to put into practice these values.
Here is tonight's homework....
Grade 5:
Math - students are expected to be practicing their multiplication tables. Tonight they are encouraged to take one number that they have difficulty with and make their best effort to memorize it. They should be practicing their multiplication tables every night.
Literacy - Read 30 minutes and complete Reader's Notebook using as much detail as possible in their work.
-Complete the inference page that was assigned over the weekend. (Unfortunately many students did not complete this homework over the weekend).
-Complete revise and edit activity (Rick Hansen paragraph)
Grade 6:
Social Studies - Leadership questions
Math - Mr. D question

Goodevening everyone,
Today we had a really great discussion as a class regarding treating other students with kindness, and being "defenders" of students who are treated poorly. Statistics say that when 3 or more students stand up to bullying that the bullying often stops within 4 seconds. A couple weeks ago was Bullying Awareness Week and so discussions and initiatives such as these are ones which we are putting in place in the classroom to stand up against bullying behaviour and fulfill the pledge that we took as a class, and school, to ensure that bullying does not plague Rick Hansen PS. These initiatives are also a means of promoting positive behaviour and general kindness to others, which in turn creates a classroom atmosphere which is more welcoming and conducive to learning. I would like to encourage all parents to discuss these initiatives with their students as we collectively promote kind behaviour towards all people both at, and away from, school.
Here is the homework for this evening.
Grade 5
Social Studies - Aeropostale assignment and House for Sale assignment due tomorrow.
Math - Data Management Test on Friday. Students should be using the review pages, as well as the other workbook pages that we have covered throughout the unit to study for the test.
