Dear Division 6 parents,<\/p>\n

We had a productive week with lots of learning and connection! Your child’s personal information sheet (from the office) went home on Friday. Please review and return as soon as possible. Thank you!<\/p>\n

Almost all students are arriving at school on time. Thank you for respecting our start time of arriving before our first bell at 8:50am. We appreciate it!<\/p>\n

Here are some updates from Mrs. Paulich on the subjects she teaches:<\/p>\n

Social Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n

We spent much of September getting ready for the year, organizing our binders, and developing a growth mindset. Each student created their own motto to turn to when they need that extra push and support. We spent time discussing and reflecting on Truth and Reconciliation and what that means to Indigenous and Non Indigenous Canadians. Most recently, we have been digging deep into our roots and origins with a look at Canadian Immigration.<\/p>\n

Physical and Health Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students have most recently begun developing their Volleyball skills.<\/p>\n

French<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been looking at simple conversation and greetings.\u00a0 Students are encouraged to practice this simple conversation at home!<\/p>\n

We are writers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we dove further into paragraph writing. We learned about opening and closing sentences along with adding details, reasons, and explanations that include our thoughts and feelings too. They were introduced to a single-point rubric for personal writing. This helps them truly see what areas they need to improve, where they are proficient, and strong aspects of their writing (which are strengths and they should keep doing these things!).<\/p>\n

We are mathematicians (Grade 5).<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am SO enjoying teaching math this year! They keep me hopping but it\u2019s so much fun teaching math! I was very happy with how they did on their pre-tests because of how proficient they showed themselves to be. I am so very proud of how hard they are working and learning.<\/p>\n

This week, we continued to learn about expanded notation and counting up and down by 10s, 100, 1000, and 10 000. HOMEWORK:<\/strong> Finish page 43 & 44. Review Pre-test and worksheets. Test on Monday, October 18. It will look similar to the pre-test. Continue to practice Math facts +1 -1 +2 -2 strategies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We practiced our math addition facts and comparing numbers by practicing on a new website: 99Math<\/a>. They absolutely LOVED it! They are enjoying Math Tappers: Finding Sums<\/a> too. If you have an iPad, please download this FREE app and have your child practice regularly to improve speed and accuracy. We started a tracking sheet this week. You can do the same at home. Thank you!<\/p>\n

Career Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the things I really believe in is that every child can develop leadership skills. On Friday, there were a few examples of how people stepped up on their own volition to demonstrate caring behaviours toward others and our classroom. Feel free to ask your child how they have contributed positively to our classroom community and space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This week, we came back to the book written by Steven Covey: The 7 Habits of Happy Kids<\/a>\u00a0(same author as\u00a0The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People<\/a> which some of you may know). The lesson focused on planning and setting goals. Here are the first two habits covered so far:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be Proactive<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 take initiative<\/li>\n
  2. Begin with the End in Mind\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 focus on goals<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They wrote three goals plus small action steps and chose one to record in their planner for next week. Please have a conversation about the goals they set and in particular, the one they chose to record in their planner. Next week, ask them to reflect daily on their goals.<\/p>\n

    I love the image I showed them. It’s about making seemingly small steps that amount to a big change over time! They can get 1% better every day! We are building healthy and effective habits.<\/p>\n

    Personal Information Test<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Thank you for taking the time to help your child study. We had 6 students get all of their information correct! Please continue to have your child memorize their O365 email address (login) and password. We will start using the laptops next week! The true test will be whether they can successfully log in.<\/p>\n

    As for memorizing their address and your cell numbers for safety reasons, we will leave that for you to decide the importance of keeping that by memory. Students will not be tested on this again in class.<\/p>\n

    Passion Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

    After having three opportunities to share what topic they chose as they went milling to music (ask them what that is!), they had an opportunity to share their 30 second elevator pitch about what they want to learn about. If you are not sure, please ask them what topic they decided. Hopefully it’s something you would LOVE to see them explore too!<\/p>\n

    Masks\u00a0<\/strong>– Please have your child keep an extra mask in their backpack plus wear one to school. Thank you!<\/p>\n

    We appreciate your continued support at home!<\/p>\n
