Thorough Thursday!

Hello Families!

We had a much better day in grade 4/5 today! Procedures were followed very well and students tried very hard on their math tests! It is very important that children study for their tests. Any help from home would be greatly appreciated!

Homework and Reminders:

• Spelling test tomorrow.  Please Study!!
• Orange Shirt Day tomorrow. Please check out the video below.

Wednesday Words!

Hello Families,

Just a reminder to all students that we need to continue to follow procedures in our classroom.  We have had a few rough days this week following the long weekend and Reading Night.  It is my goal to provide students with an enriching learning environment.  That being said, procedures create this type of classroom and must be followed.

Students have all be sent home with a copy of the math test they will receive tomorrow.  I have done this so that students have a clear understanding of what they are expected to be able to do.  I will change nothing on the actual test from what they have today.

Please STUDY for your Math tonight.  You have all the tools you need to find success!

Parents please ask your child about Pearson online textbooks and IXL! They have access to both now!

Reading Night Tuesday!

Hello Families!

Tonight is a big night at Sacred Heart!  We have our first Reading Night combined with our Meet The Teacher Night.  I hope to see all of you!

Homework and Reminders:

• We have our first Math test this Thursday! Please be prepared.
• Spelling Test Friday
• Orange Shirt Day Friday!

Monday!!

Hello Families!

We had a sleepy start to a very busy week in grade 4/5.  It is so important that students go to bed early on the night before school; sleepy minds cannot learn. We have a lot going on in school these days and students need to come prepared to learn; this means rested, nourished and ready to put their best foot forward!

Homework and Reminders:

• Math Test on "Whole Numbers" Thursday September 29th.
• New Spelling words; Test Friday
• Meet the teacher Night and Reading Night tomorrow September 27th 6 to 7:30
• Orange T-Shirt day September 30th

I encourage all families to watch this video.  It provides much needed information on the background of orange shirt day September 30th.

Thoughtful Thursday!

Hello families!

We had a lovely walk to mass this morning.  It was so beautiful to see the leaves falling and the smiles on the childrens' faces!  Mass taught us to "Love Our Neighbour As Ourselves."  What a great message to start out the school year!

Please be reminded that there is no school tomorrow as we are on a Staff Retreat Day.

Spelling Test is Monday! Study hard!

Enjoy your weekend!

Fun Friday!

Hello Families!

We had a great Friday in Grade 4/5.  We worked on math, had our spelling test, and had our library orientation!

It was also GREEN day and we had our field trip to see the RCMP parade at Depot! Wow we were busy!

In fact, we were so good we earned our Friday treat and Mrs. Walby bought popsicles!!!

Thriving Thursday!

Hello Families!

The students are really beginning to thrive in school.  The daily procedures are really sinking in and the children are feeling more and more competent at what is expected of them.  We are still trying to work on our independence and stamina when it comes to staying focused and staying on task.

Great job at bringing the math homework back!

Homework and Reminders:

• Study Lesson 2 spelling words.
• Green Day Friday!

Wonderful Wednesday.

Hello Families!

What a beautiful day today; the sun was shining and the children worked very hard today! The grade 5's wrote their RAD test and the Grade 4's were very respectful and patient.

Today is the first day I am sending math homework home.  I told the children they need to be mindful of their things and not lose their math duo-tang as I would not be replacing it. Hopefully they all come back and the work is done!

Homework and Reminders:

• Math addition worksheet due tomorrow.
• Study spelling. Test Friday.
• Basketball forms are due Friday if you took one.
• Green Day Friday
• RCMP field trip Friday

Terrific Tuesday!

Hello Families!

Mindful Monday!

Hello Families!

Welcome back to another week of school!  This week we will be doing our reading assessment called the RAD for our grade 5 students.  The grade 4's will be getting a taste of this assessment but will not be formally assessed until next year!

Reading is one of the best ways to help your child exceed in school! I encourage all of you to attend our first reading night September 27th at 6pm.

Homework and Reminders:

Thursday things!....What a Great Class!

Hello Families!

We had a beautiful fall day at school today!  We were able to get outside and get some much needed fresh air after a hard morning of learning!

Homework and Reminders:

• Gr. 4 Math pg.9
• Gr. 5 Math Pg. 9 and 11
• Spelling test tomorrow!

Tuesday Tidings!

Hello Families!

I trust all of you had a restful and enjoyable September long weekend!  The students were pretty tired this morning so I encouraged them to get plenty of rest so that they were ready and able to learn!  We are starting to get into the full academic swing of things at school.  Many students are still in sleepy summer mode and the transition can be a bit difficult.  The best way to address this is lots of rest and healthy food.

Reminders:

• Please make sure you bring your white demographic sheets back.
• Gr. 4 math pg. 3 and 4
• Gr. 5 Math Pg. 2,3,4

Enjoy your evening!

Welcome Back!

Hello Families!

I am so happy to be a part of the family at Sacred Heart this year!  We are off to a great start and I am blessed to have such a great group of children to work with this year in my grade 4/5 class.  Please feel free to contact me at the school 306-791-7290 or k.walby@rcsd.ca if you have any questions.

Everyday I will update the blog with what we have done that day and any important reminders.

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Walby
