Band - January 12

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.

We worked on review skills today. We will do review skills on Fridays from now on. They will be due every Thursday.

Introducing Mrs. Friesen!

Happy New Year!

We're back at school in this new year, 2009, and we have a new student teacher!
Mrs. Friesen is a P.S.3 student teacher in her last round of student teaching before she receives her Bachelor of Education degree. She will be teaching Language Arts to the Grade Six class for the next four months. We are all excited to have Mrs. Friesen with us. Mrs. Friesen has a major in Language Arts and a minor in Social Studies, and is experienced in using new technology. She has several projects planned including creating and publishing student stories. Mrs. Friesen will be contacting each family in the next week or so to introduce herself and discuss her plans for our Grade Six students.

Assignments Due and Christmas Concert Preparations...

The TR6 class is busy now that report cards have gone out, rehearsing lines and staging for the Christmas Concert play, "A King Is Coming to Town". Each year the Grade Six class presents the play around which the whole Christmas Concert is structured. The concert is coming up very quickly on Wednesday evening, December 12th.
Your son/daughter will hopefully ask your assistance for costuming or props that we may still need. Thank you for your help with that.
I look forward to meeting with you for a Parent-Teacher conference.

A reminder that two assignments are past due for Language Arts:
1) the book jacket book report
2) the colour poem poster

We've had lots of periods in computer lab and time to work on these assignments, so we can't afford any more class time for them.
Both of these need to be completed and handed in as soon as possible.
