Mme. Macdonald

I will be tidying and reorganizing my blog to make it more user friendly for our students, parents and colleagues.  Please check back in approximately one week  (my deadline is 04-little-giftsSeptember 12) to see our new look for the 2008-09 school year at Eliot River.

Thank you to all the parents and students who read this blog.  Thank you also for your participation in my Action Research project.  Your feedback was very helpful.   I look forward to continuing a classroom blog next year,  involving my students in blogging and establishing a library blog. 

Thank you for your support in your child’s education.  Have a happy and safe summer everyone!

Most students presented their puppet plays for Mlle Gallant and her grade four Core French students today.  Mlle Gallant was very appreciative of the creativity of our students and the skits were enjoyed by the grade fours!  I will post photos of our puppets on our blog before the end of the year.

Tuesday afternoon is the lip synch.

Wednesday morning is the grade six graduation. (11:00am)

We will all enjoy a barbeque lunch and in the  afternoon we will participate in fun outdoor activities.

On Monday, the grade five students will visit Avonlea village.  They should have a wonderful time.  

The grade sixes will stay at school helping teachers pack up the classroom to get it ready for the summer deep cleaning.

The grade six students will depart for Moncton at 9:00 tomorrow morning.  Please pack a swimsuit, extra clothes and lots of sunscreen.  Boomer says it is going to be a beautiful day!  Lucky you!  

The grade five students will clean up our classroom and perhaps watch a movie!

Students will be working to review angles, problem solving, multiplication and division.  Our quiz will be on Thursday.  

The students have been working with protractors to measure angles and have been learning about the different kinds of angles.  There will be a quiz on the material early next week.  This quiz will also include a review of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 

Just a post to let you know that I will be absent from school this Thursday and Friday.  I will be purchasing books for our Library Collection (both French and English).  The students have provided me with some excellent suggestions and I look forward to participating in the collection development plan.
