Christmas Concert is coming...

2009-11-20T13:56:00.002-07:00

I apologize for not blogging regularly this fall term. I intend to write here more often in the coming months.

Report cards are on their way home and we look forward to meeting with parents (and students)about their progress this fall term. Please contact me, or make an appointment for a conference, if you have any questions or concerns about your child's progress in the Art of Language.
In Grade Six Language,starting next week, we will be spending several periods each week preparing for our St. Joe's Christmas Concert on December 10th. The play Ms. Christie and I have chosen is called "All I Want for Christmas" and it looks to be a fun one with lots of colourful characters and great music. Of course our TR-Six class are the stars with the responsibility and pleasure of 'becoming' the characters and acting out the story.
We ask your assistance in finding costumes for the 'toy' characters we will have.
In the next few days I'll be sending a note asking for your helping with our costumes and props.
Thanks for your help!
Always remember that you are welcome to contact me by email at terry.roth@holyspirit.ab.ca or by phone at school: 403-345-3373, or at home at 403-345-4543.

Grade 6 Band for the Week of Jan. 26

2009-01-26T15:19:00.003-07:00

Hello parents,

I just wanted to give you an update as to what is happening with the Grade 6 Band. We will be performing in the festival in March and many of the students are very excited about it. They all want another "Superior" rating like the one they got last year!

I have noticed something though that is keeping the group from being a truly great band. Each class, students are asked to indicate whether or not they have practised and then I track it in my records. It appears that only about 10 or so of the 24 students in the class are practising regularly and it is definitely affecting the rest of the group. I have to be honest, I'm not trying to turn each and everyone of them into professionals, but I would like all of them to reach a level which will help them to appreciate what they are doing. In addition to that, it is so important to the rest of the band "team" that all players pull their weight and learn their parts. Even 10 minutes a day is better than no practising at all.

As a result of a conversation I've had with the class today, we've decided to take some actions. Beginning on Thursday, if students haven't marked down that they've practised for two classes in a row, I will be contacting home. If this persists, they will be asked to put in extra time during lunch, recess or after school.

Any support from is greatly appreciated and if you have any questions, please contact me at the school or email me at karen.christie@holyspirit.ab.ca. Thanks and watch out for information regarding our festival trip in March!

LA Outlines Due Monday

2009-01-23T15:00:00.004-07:00

Today we worked on our writing for our myths in LA. I had the class organize their research and thoughts in a web and then we talked about taking those ideas and putting them into an outline.

An outline helps writers to organize their ideas before they start writing.

If students are still unsure how to create an outline they can follow this example, however, this is just a guideline, students should feel free to create their own outline.

1. Introduction (the introduction just introduces the ideas, it does not go into any detail, the purpose is tell the reader what they will be reading)
a. What is the myth/legend?
b. What is the History/background of the myth?
c. Is it true or not?

2. What is the myth/legend
a. Who
b. What
c. Where
d. When

3. What is the history/background of the myth?
a. Where did the myth come from?
b. When did it start?
c. Is there any culture surrounding the myth?
i. Festivals
ii. Traditions

4. Is it true? (I would like for students to explore both sides and then make a decision for themselves)
a. Yes
i. Evidence
ii. Evidence
iii. evidence
b. No
i. Evidence
ii. Evidence
iii. Evidence

5. Conclusion (the purpose of a conclusion is to summarize what has been written)
a. Is it true?
b. what is the history
c. what is it

* Remember to indent with every new topic (ie/ 1., a., i.,), blogger won't show the indentations

Remember, the point of an outline is to organize ideas before writing, therefore, these can be written in point form.

Please bring your outlines for Monday and hand them in first period for me to look at. We will be working in the computer lab for period 2 and you will need your outline.

Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you on Monday.

Hello, my name is...

2009-01-22T15:51:00.002-07:00

Dear Parents and Guardians,

My name is Caitlyn Friesen and I have the priveledge of teaching your child for the next few months. I am an intern teacher completing my final teaching practicum, PSIII. I have been teaching at St. Josephs for about three weeks now and I have been having an absolutely wonderful time getting to know all of the students. In Grade 6 I have been teaching Language Arts. We've started a novel study on Jerry Spinelli's "Maniac Magee". The students have already dramatized some of the chapters and are currently working on creating a label for a chocolate bar and writing stories about Maniac's "lost year". Also, as a class, we have been reading David Jones' "Baboon", a novel about a boy who transforms into a baboon and has to learn to adapt to his new life as a part of a tribe of monkeys. The students have also been doing research on a myth or urban legend of their choosing, such as loch ness monster or big foot. The students seem to be really enjoying this assignment. Next week we will start putting our research together to create posters about the legends.

I have thourougly enjoyed these last three weeks and I have found the grade 6 class to be a joy. I look forward to meeting each of you and working with you in the future. If you have any questions or concerns about anything please feel free to contact me over either at the school, on the phone or over email.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to teach your children.

Band - January 12

2009-01-12T15:24:00.002-07:00

This week, the Grade 6 Band is working on the Concert Bb major scale which is on P. 42 of their red books. There will be a test on this on Monday, January 19.

The group is already off to a terrific start on our Kiwanis festival music. This year, the festival will be held during the last week of March but I will let you know the exact date and time when it comes available. We will be playing "Ayre and Dance" and "Marching Grenadiers".

In addition to practising these pieces of music, I've also asked them to practise number 70 in their red books. We will begin charting our progress on our Standard of Excellence Achievement Charts. These are found in the back of the red books, but I'll be providing the students with photocopies of these. There are certain exercises throughout the book that are designated with a picture of a medal. When a student is able to perform these for me, they will be able to check them off on their chart and I will keep track of them too. We will start tracking these exercises at number 70 starting on Thursday, January 15.

Math 6

2008-09-03T11:57:00.002-06:00

Welcome to Grade 6 math.
We're starting with number concepts.
This involves:
- place value
- reading and writing large numbers
- comparing numbers

The students will do regular review of Part A achievement test skills. We will track how they do on them and keep track.

The First PAT's are done!

2008-05-15T11:35:00.003-06:00

Just before the Victoria Long Weekend, it is time to feel lighter, somewhat happier, relieved. Why? The first of the PAT's are done! This past week, we wrote the Part A of two Provincial Achievement Tests, the Language Arts narrative story and newspaper article and the Mathematics Operations test. The Grade Six classes worked hard to demonstrate their writing and math skills.
A quick look at these tests seems to indicate that the students did well.

The next major test of this kind is a Language PAT Field Test, which is a effort to check out the viability of the material that Alberta Ed will use on the June PAT. It works for us as a good 'practice test' in preparation for the Part B Language PAT in late June. This test is a multiple choice Reading Comprehension test.

Have a great long weekend!

May Already!

2008-05-01T12:33:00.002-06:00

Just a quick note to let any of you that still check this blog about a few things coming up for our TR-Sixes in this month of May:

On Tuesday next week, May 6th, the 6RS class will walk to the Coaldale Library to hear David Poulsen, an Alberta author, poet and rodeo enthusiast.

On Thursday, May 8th all the TR-SIX students will write a "Practice" PAT, that is a test that is just like the Provincial Achievement Test that they will write on Tuesday, May 13th. This is the Writing Test which includes writing a narrative story from a picture cue, and also a 'newspaper article" in about 2 hours time.

The Sixes are writing practice tests in Math and Science in the next few days and weeks, as well.

It is important that all Grade Six students get a good night's sleep on Monday night the 12th, so that they will be at their best on Tuesday morning.

Thanks for you help in this.

Back After Easter!

2008-03-31T11:52:00.002-06:00

Happy Easter! Hope you had a relaxing, blessed Easter holiday.
In Language Arts we have, at long last, finished our study of the novel, Maniac Magee,but we are celebrating the novel this week by acting out our favourite scenes and doing a few other closing activities.
April is National POETRY month and we will be reading/writing and studying all sorts of poetry, song lyrics and rap every day this month. Your son/daughter is encouraged to collect and bring good poems or song lyrics to share with the class.

We will be continuing to work on prepping for the PAT Writing test coming up in mid-May by working on our story-writing skills from picture cues and writing news articles...Unfortunately, the ExamBank is no help there, but there are passages that our students can read and multiple choice questions they can answer in preparation for the Language PAT (Reading) that comes at the end of June.

Christmas Is A-Coming!

2007-12-19T09:46:00.000-07:00

Christmas Story:
The Grade Six classes are working on writing/editing/proofreading a story with a Christmas connection...a Christmas setting, characters or somehow Christmas figures in the sequence of events of the story. We have been working on this in computer class, but students may work on it at home...(they may email it home to work on).

Christmas Wish List:

Grade Six students are working on composing a Christmas Wish List, with explanations/ reasons
The Christmas Wish List has two parts: Gifts I Really Want and Deserve for Christmas and
Gifts I Would Really Like to Give for Christmas

We set a limit of 10 gifts on each list. Five may be "material things" and five should be "intangible" gifts. On the second list, they should specifiy to whom the gift will be given and why.

I am looking for some imaginative, thoughtful, persuasive writing.

We hope to share some of these stories and lists aloud and have all handed in by Friday morning(21st).
