Christmas Concert

Our outdoor Christmas concert is December 15th at 5:00p.m.

Our Grade 5 class will be performing the Whoville Medley by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra which is featured on the How The Grinch Stole Christsmas soundtrack.

Here is a link to the song on YouTube and a copy of the lyrics so students can practice on their own time.  We will be practicing in class as well.

WHOVILLE MEDLEY

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

I’ve got the Christmas tree, I’ve got the memories

I’ve got the box of decorations

I’ve got the tinsel strung, the mistletoe’s been hung

I’ve got the means of celebration

I’ve got the lights down low, the skies are dreaming snow

I got the yule log burning bright

And by the Christmas tree I’ve got you here with me

I’ve got the perfect Christmas night

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

I got a box of dreams, all with the Christmas theme

But tonight I won’t be sleeping

I’ve got Bing Crosby on, have all my troubles yawn

With the spirit I’ve been keeping

I’ve got the presents wrapped, I’ve got the boxes stacked

I’ve put up those Christmas lights

All around that tree like it all should be

I’ve got the perfect Christmas night

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do

Dream out boys

Aaah—ba ba shee do ah

Aaah—ba ba shee do ah

I’ve got the Christmas tree, I’ve got the memories

I’ve got the box of decorations

I’ve got the tinsel strung, the mistletoe’s been hung

I’ve got the means of celebration

I’ve got the lights down low, the skies are dreaming snow

I got the yule log burning bright

And by the Christmas tree, I’ve got you here with me

I’ve got the perfect Christmas night

And by that Christmas tree, I’ve got you here with me

I’ve got the perfect Christmas night

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Shoo bi du ah—ba ba shee do ah

Wha wha whaaa

Merry Christmas…

Dance a Thon

Just a reminder that our dance a thon is this Friday November 25th.  Students were given pledge forms last week and are encouraged to ask friends and family members for pledges.  Grade 5's will be in the gym for the dance-a-thon last block Friday.  All money raised from the dance-a-thon will be given to our sister school, St. Luke Ottawa to help support the families during the Christmas season. 

Thank you for your support,

Shannon Beardsley

Spelling Quiz #4

We will have our fourth spelling quiz this Thursday November 17th.  (Friday is a PD Day)

The words we have been studying are:
tomorrow, invisible, important, junior, excellent, success, responsible, present, journey, and possible.

Quiz books were sent home to be signed and returned. Please ensure that these are returned to school no later than Thursday.

Math Update

Students wrote their tests on Patterning this past week.  We will begin our unit on Geometry this coming week.  We will be classifying, measuring, and constructing angles and triangles.  We will also be working with and sorting 2D and 3D shapes.

Movie Review Project

Students were introduced to our upcoming movie review project and were asked to think about which movie they would like to review.  We will have two blocks with the chromebooks this Thursday to work on it.  I ask that they watch their movie before Thursday (if they haven't already) so they will be prepared to begin writing about it on Thursday.  All of the written work for this project should be completed at school, however, it may be helpful if they made (handwritten) notes on the major plot events to help them write their summary.

Have a great weekend!

Homework/Patterning Test

Review sheets for the upcoming Patterning test were sent home today.  They are due Tuesday and will be taken  up in class Tuesday morning.  The patterning test will be given next Wednesday November 9, 2016.

I will not be sending home the regular homework sheet this Friday, I would like students to use their time to complete the review sheet and study for the test.  They can practice the word wall words on their own time.  Next week's word wall words will be : tomorrow, invisible, important, junior, and excellent.
