Lang Arts Sorry about not being as diligent about posting as I'd like. Students were to complete a chart on the novel we are studying last night. Only half a dozen or so had completed the work for class this morning so those kids get the night off tonight while the ones who were not done will need to address that tonight.
MS Readathon - The grade 5's have challenged the grade 6s to see which class can read more minutes during the read a thon. It's based on the number of minutes per student so we need everyone to read something. Parents to make sure the reading is supervised would you please initial each evening reading time on the sheet. Thanks. We want Mr. Roth to wear that Edmonton Oilers jersey in early November. If each student reads at least 15 minutes per night we will do well and the MS society will have achieved its goal too. Enjoy your free reading.
Math - I don't know what happened over the weekend but again a large number of students did not complete their math assignment from last Thursday. Many will have reduced recess and PE today to make sure they are caught up. We will be having a Math test on Unit 2 from the textbook next Monday Oct. 30th. Plenty of time to review and prepare.
Parents, I'm trying to help the students become responsible independent learners by giving them time to complete assignments that are review and practice. Some students are taking advantage of this and not being diligent about completing these reviews which holds everyone back as we have to wait. Thanks for your help in making sure your child has the required work completed on time.
Social Studies - the tests should be on their way home tomorrow. As incentive to review, students who hand in a corrected test will be credited for their work.

Lang Arts - Students are to find one more instance where Marty from the book Shiloh does not tell the truth and explain if the reason for the lie is a good reason or not.
*** We have also challenged the grade 6 class to see who can read for the most minutes during the MS read-a-thon. Although last night was just a warmup students read for a phenomenal 1560 minutes or 26 hours of combined reading time. It worked out that on average the students read for just over 50 minutes. Awesome work students!
Math - Due for next Monday Oct. 23rd. Please have the homework sheets pages 27-30 completed.

Band Assignments
A reminder to all Grade 5 band students that practise sheets are due this week. Also, October practise sheets should be started already and we need a minimum of 75 minutes per week.
We will be having a concert on Oct. 25 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Joseph's. The Grade 5s will be performing Clair de la Lune (#17), Song of the Fjords (#27) and Mary Ann (#38). I realize that the last two are a ways down in the book book, but I encourage students just to take it one measure at a time.
