Mrs. Bright's Grade 5 Homeroom Class
|
Welcome Back Students! We are in for a great year. There are so many wonderful things to explore in the wonderful world of learning. I am your teacher for science, narrative story, novel study, spelling, cursive, art and keyboarding. The remaining subjects are taught by Mrs. Schow (Language), Mr. Quinton (Math), Mr. Toth (Social Studies), Mrs. Burwell (Music), and Mr. Rowe (Gym). Parents, for your convenience I have linked Alberta Education's Curriculum Handbook for Parents and Grade 5 At-A-Glance. Both documents outline what your child will learn this year in Language, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health, Computer, Art, PE, and Music. http://education.alberta.ca/media/445763/pub5.pdf http://education.alberta.ca/media/446151/5bro.pdf
Planners School planners are intended as an effective tool to be used between students, teachers and parents. Students are responsible for recording homework, parent notes and reading minutes in their planners each day. Planners must be intialed by parents and returned to school the following day. Any notes written by parents will be addressed in the mornings. The Grade 5 team expects that students are reading each night. Your child is permitted to take two books out from the library on Monday afternoons. Spelling words are recorded in planners and should be reviewed as needed. |
