ARROW BOOK ORDERS ARE DUE MONDAY
TERRY FOX SCHOOL DAY RUN GOES THIS FRIDAY!!
Parents please read the following:
Dear Grade 5 Parents,
Starting Monday I am implementing a plan in my classroom to help the students build community.
It is based on a model of mutual respect, communication, and effective problem solving. As students interact with each other during the week they often do many kind things and sometimes may do things that are unkind. The way this will work is that once weekly, (Friday’s religion class) students will have the opportunity to formally compliment their classmates for something they have done during the week. If an issue or dispute arises during the week that a student wants the class to address (e.g. a playground issue or teasing) the student will have the opportunity to explain how the incident made them feel and ask the other person to stop. If a student wants the class to address a dispute they will first have to wait at least 30 minutes and then write their concern in a meeting book that will be kept on my desk.
If the problem continues I will then intervene. Of course anything serious will be dealt with promptly either by administration or me.

Friday's Band Clinic
Hello everyone!
I'd just like to thank all of the students for attending our headstart clinic this past Friday. Not only were they polite and respectful but they worked very hard too. As many of you witnessed, the clinic was well worth the time as our students came away excited and ready to play.
As of today, the students will be assigned songs from the book to practice. For the first few weeks, I will be looking to make sure that they are able to properly assemble their instruments, read and perform whole notes, half notes and quarter notes on the first 5 notes they learn.
Also beginning today, the students will be asked to use their "practice picks". If they've practiced, they are asked to move their guitar pick to center of their picture that's on the wall. If they need some extra help, they move it to a different part of the wall.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Homework for parents:
I 'm asking that parents do a bit of homework for next Monday. Most parents like to show how proud they are of their kids and this is your opportunity to boast about your kid.
What I'm asking of each of you is to please write me a letter, email, essay, short novel about your son or daughter. I'm hoping that you'll be able to give me some insight into their special interests and talents. It would be nice to have these before Wednesday's bar b que if possible. It would really help me communication wise if I have emails for each of you so if you want to email the assignment that would be great.
Oh Yeah !The students have a Social studies assignement on page 5 for Monday and their Health cover page is due on Tuesday.
See you all on Wednesday night.
