Mr. Ogren's Music Class

There was an error in the newsletter earlier in the month, the costume parade is on Monday, Oct. 31 after lunch. 

This week’s focus is contractions:

I’ll, they’ve, don’t, we’re, didn’t, isn’t, couldn’t, haven’t, o’clock, you’re, who’s, whose, aren’t, it’s, doesn’t, there’s, won’t, I’ve

Challenge Words: centimeter, kilometer, multiple, Halloween

Assignments due and Test Friday!

It’s Hot Dog Day on Thursday. Students can send in their orders tomorrow. 

Unfortunately, there is no chocolate milk available for this order. Students can still order a juice box though. 

I have to apologize, I forgot the spelling words at school. I will post the list Wednesday. 

The students rented stuffed gorillas for their desks for the day by making donations to the Terry Fox Foundation! They also wrote “A Day in the Life of a Stuffed Gorilla” stories and we used to the gorillas to write descriptive paragraphs.

Click  here to see the Parent/Teacher conference Schedule for Mr. Ogren & Mrs. Brooks’ Grade 5 class.

There is an early dismissal on Monday at 1:30 pm. There are a few open spots, so if your scheduled time does not work for you, please have a look at the available blocks and let the office now of the change.

Students will be dismissed at 1:30 pmnon Monday due to the parent/teacher conferences. I will post the schedule for our class later today. Your child should have brought home your request sheet with your time highlighted. We tried to accommodate one of your top three picks, we were close if we couldn’t. We also tried to accommodate for siblings. I spoke with all the other teachers that had siblings in our class to make sure that we did not overlap times. 

There are a few open spots left, so if your time does not work we can try  and slate you in at another time. 

Friday, Oct. 21 is the provincial Pro-D day, there is no school in session for students. On the other hand, teachers from around the province will be taking part in a wide variety of activities and using the day to further their learning. 

I will personally be attending an all day cultural tour based out of Port Hardy to learn more about local First Nations’ culture.
