Monday December 16, 2019

Good evening everyone!

We have had a lot of students away due to illness.  If you are ill, please stay home so that we can try to stop spreading these colds.  Any students who are feeling ill will be asked to call home and make arrangements to get home.  The reason for this is because I have noticed over the last week that our numbers have been increasing because of student illness.  The attendance numbers have made it very clear that we are spreading sickness to each other.  My hope is to prevent any more students from becoming ill.  So if you are ill, please stay home.  Thank you everyone for your understanding :)

You can keep up with your homework and assignments at home through the blog.


December Assembly- We will be hosting.  Here is the link to the song we will be singing with the grade 2's & 6's :)

The assembly will be on Wednesday at 9:15am for any parents interested in attending. :)

Math - Thursday's math test has been postponed until after the winter break.  This is due to the fact that we have had so many students battling sickness over the last week.  We will do another quick review in the first week back, and then set our test date.

Math - 2D Measurement Test will be after the winter break.  The review, as well as questions that we will be working on the next couple of days in class have been put on Google Classroom.  I would recommend completing the questions we have not yet completed in class for homework so that you can then come to class ready to work on asking questions and developing understanding on anything you are having difficulty with.  You have Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday in class to prepare for this test.  You can also come before school, morning recess, and after school for help.  PLEASE FOLLOW THE REVIEW TO PREPARE :)

Literacy - Please feel free to review the notes we took in class for our Stress & Anxiety research assignment.  I have included pictures of notes from the board so that we can continue to learn and grow our knowledge, insights and discoveries.


Social Studies - War of 1812 assignment instructions are on Google Classroom.  Assignments are due December 13th.  Please be prepared to hand in, or present, depending upon how you decided to complete the assignment.  (Due - late)

Passion Projects - I would like to encourage everyone to go to the Aurora Public Library and find books on their Passion Project topic.  Please try to have them available for you to read at school after the Winter Break.


Health - We have been learning about the brain.

The following are links to the videos we have learned from in class....

Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our  class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences.  Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please let me know what you think :)  

I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents.  In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.

1.  Adding to your bank account
2.  To the student who just got an answer wrong in class
3.  To accomplish, you must first become
4.  School improves your passions
5.  The way school improves your passions
6.  Are you committed to your success?  Prove it, and you'll be glad you did!
7.  Why growth is fun!













Have a great evening,


Mr. Carr
