Grade 5-1 and 5-2

Couleefest Couleefest is fast approaching! Next week on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon we will be presenting our projects to the school and community. Make sure if you are baking something to do it this weekend and freeze it or prepare to do it Mon/Tues next week! Food should be brought to school in a cooler if it needs to stay cold. Remember you do NOT need a full size sample of your food product for every person - you can half or quarter items!! It's just supposed to be a tiny taste if you have samples. Any other elements of your project that are unfinished can be worked on this weekend. You may have a small bit of time next week but we will need to practice presenting next week as well! Parents are welcome to either day. Come and celebrate with us! HUMS Book Buffet - we wrapped up our Book Buffet this week! Wow - there were some very tasty looking projects! Congrats on all your hard work on these displays.  If you did not finish your book buffet, please take the weekend ...

Wear (and bring) sunscreen We can't wait to have this day with the kids and a HUGE thank you to all the volunteers that will be coming with us. Without your support we could not do trips like this!

Students will be bringing home a letter about human sexuality within the next few days. Both 5-1 and 5-2 will be starting this work some time after June 10th (many snickers and giggles happened at this announcement). Students have been asked to bring home this letter ASAP. They only need to bring this letter back if you would like to exclude your child from the human sexuality lessons. All of the lessons for our Human Sexuality will be following the lessons posted on the Alberta Health Services Website. If you are unfamiliar with these lessons please feel free to check out the website so you know exactly what we will be covering in grade five. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your homeroom teachers.

The entire project in Humanities for the Book Buffet is due Monday, June 10th. The majority of students were not prepared today with their materials. Please ensure that you are bringing your materials tomorrow and for the rest of the week. You are being provided with class time to work on and create your book buffet food item. You may also use the art cart materials and work on this over the weekend. This due date was stated at the end of April and was recorded in our black writing duotangs in our purple Book Buffet booklets.

HUMS Book buffet books should be finished today!! If you aren't done reading, please finish this weekend. We are starting our project next week (if you haven't already) so bringing your materials to school is important! Please come prepared next week with what you need to work on your final project at school in class. Thank you! We have finished going through the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as well as creating our own Charter for TMC, and have moved on to looking at the topic of Quebec Separatism. We reviewed reasons for the referendums of 1980 and 1995. We are now applying it to our own lives and asking "What if Western Canada decided to separate from Eastern Canada? Would you vote yes or no - why?" Students have chosen a side and are creating a propaganda poster in order to sway others to their side! MATH and SCIENCE -Students continued to work on their backyard projects. Almost everyone has finished their area/perimeter sums, completed a good copy of the...

We are still in need of 4 volunteers for our field trip to Heritage Park on June 5th! Please email sesimmons@cbe.ab.ca or bpcroswell@cbe.ab.ca if you have your current police check on file with the school and are able to come along with us on this trip! It is important that we have parent volunteers for safety reasons and so we can have manageable group sizes for the Wetlands program and exploring around Heritage Park. Thank you!

A HUGE congratulations to all of the students that performed, supported, and did work to make the Annie performances such a success. The show was amazing and we are so proud of everyone that contributed. None of this would be possible without the support of Mrs. Croswell, Mrs. Lowe and Miss Hierons. Thank you to everyone that make it such a success!!! Reminders: Field trip forms for our Heritage Park trip have come home and the fee can now be paid online. (Sorry for the delay!). -If you can volunteer please contact your home room teacher. Each class will need to have a minimum of 4 volunteers to be able to go!

SCIENCE -Students spent ...

At this point the students have been asked to not complete the next round for their collective understandings. A new one will be coming out in the next little bit and will be shared with the students at that time. The current collective understandings is no longer available to students.
