Nov. 17 - Band
Hello everyone,
We are now preparing for our Dec. 11 concert and our Grade 5s are BUSY! They'll be playing Jolly Old St. Nicholas and Popcorn Prelude for the concert. In addition, they have three songs to learn to sing for the Christmas play. The songs are pretty simple, but there's lots to do.
I've handed out the words to the song "The King of Rock and Roll" and would like to encourage the students to begin learning the words and the actions. The words to the other songs will be distributed on Wednesday, November 19.
As for band, the students are working on their 6-note scale. Today we practised in half-notes and on Wednesday we will try it with quarter notes. By next week, we will try it on different rhythms so the students need to be comfortable with those notes. We've also been learning about harmony and duets. "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" is written in two parts so the students are asked to learn both the "A" line and the "B" line. On Wednesday, we'll be learning about 2/4 time and key signatures.
I'll do my best to keep everyone updated after each class. Thanks everyone!

Monday
Language Arts - Camp Readwell challenge - After the first month the student were very excited about the idea of getting free meal for reading. A few of them met their goal and that was great but I think instead of having to complete two books for this challenge I would make it a time commitment. So here's the plan if students read 20 minutes per night during the week they would read 100 minutes each week. Now it has to be sustained reading not watching aTV and reading at the same time. The goal would be then to have each student read for 400 minutes in the last five weeks before Christmas. If the students reach their goal we could plan a class meal at Montana's restaurant some time in January where the kids could cash in their cards and get their free meal. Each student has a sheet that parents must initial to confirm that they have read for the time indicated.
Science - Please make sure you have completed the electrical devices at home sheet and classified them according to the chart.
Social - Continuing to work through the Atlantic Region P42-45 can be reviewed for Tuesday.
Religion - Some students still have to bring in fabric for our class project in Religion. Also the circle of people needs to be complete for Thursday.
