Have a Great Summer

June 29, 2011

Dear Parent/Guardians,
Just one last post before the holidays officially begin. I apologize, as I had hoped to get out one final hard copy of the newsletter. It has been a wonderful year and I want to thank all the parents and students for their continued support. I am looking ahead to the future and I am excited to be coming back and continuing some of the work we have started. Have a wonderful holiday and I will see everyone in the Fall.

Enjoy the summer
Ms. Legault
(and Chippy)

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Thanks to all parents who requested books for summer reading. Anyone else wishing books, please let me know, as it will take some time to organize the packages. I will get that out to everyone next week.

As of Wednesday, I have assessed all the grade 1 and 2 students, so everyone should've received a sheet indicating the students reading levels and highlighted sight words. If you did not receive one, please let me know.

Again this week, I am not assigning homework again as I am trying to gather all resources and assemble homework packages. Please return any books you are not using.

Talent show auditions are underway this week. We are extremely impressed with all the students who have tried out. It's going to be a difficult task to narrow it down to only 24 acts. General Lake definitely 'Got Talent'.

Thanks again for all your support
See everyone at the Spring Fling on Wednesday!

Dear Parents,

Grade 1 and 2 only

I am still working on sending out the assessments for the grade 1 and 2 students. If your child is below the expectations for his/her grade level, I would like to offer a package of reading books and sight words to help you during the summer holidays. If you are interested in receiving a package just send along the enclosed form and I will prepare some books for your child to read during the summer break.


I will not be assigning any more homework, as we are wrapping up the school year. If you would like some books, please do not hesitate to ask and I will assist your child in choosing some at their appropriate level.

Grade 6 students will begin their EQAO assessment today. I will not be seeing them for the next three days, as classes have been rearranged to accomodate the testing.


Students are now working on reading their own novel in grades 3 to 6. Students then have a choice of how they wish to share their book. Among some of the suggestions are making a speech, creating a play; creating a poster; making a commercial, designing a new book cover, creating a picture book, writing a journal. Students in grade 1 and 2 are also joining in the reading fun. Grade 1's are reading Alexander and the Horrible No Good Day and the grade 2' are reading Dr. Seuss' books. Grade 1's and 2's will also have some choices around how they would like to share about their book which may include drawing a poster; orally retelling the story or favourite part of the story; acting out their favourite part; or writing a diary entry.

Have a great week.
Ms. Legault

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Another great week at General Lake, ending with one of the most popular of the spirit days... Pyjama Day. Students in most Core English classes cozied up for a read aloud by Dr. Seuss called "Hooray For Diffendoofer Day". I chose this book in honour of our Grade 3's who began their EQAO testing on Monday. All students have been reminded to be on their best behaviour keeping the noise down for the week showing respect to our grade 3's who will be working hard at completing the assessment. Grade 6's will begin their testing next Tuesday.

Many students have signed up for the Talent show. Wednesday will be the last day to sign up and a note will go home with all students who have signed up informing them about the dates of the audition, as well as the criteria the panel of judges will use to select the successful candidates. Unfortunately we will not be able to take all acts because of time constraints, but we do hope to get a good variety of acts included. I do hope to videotape all the auditions, so even if your child is not selected for the show, we can show a short part of their peformance during another assembly.


Finally the following links were forwarded to me from a colleague about how families can deal with the stress of military life.

Dear Parents,
It was a great end to the week with an anti-bullying show presented by the Blues Lady Maria Hawkins, as well as our school-wide Hawaiian Day. Students in Core English learned an Hawaiian song called The Hukilau. I have enclosed the words for the younger students to practice at home.

In the Core English classes students have been participating in lessons on parts of speech including several lessons from the Ontario Resource Bank. You can access these video lessons at http://resources.elearningontario.ca/.

Hawaiian song

Hukilau - by Jack Owens

Oh we're going to a hukilau
A huki huki huki huki hukilau
Everybody loves the hukilau
Where the laulau is the kaukau at the luau
We throw our nets out into the sea
And all the amaama come a swimming to me
Oh, we're going to a hukilau
A huki huki huki hukilau

A huki huki huki huki hukilau
Everybody loves the hukilau
Where the laulau is the kaukau at the luau
We throw our nets out into the sea
And all the amaama come a swimming to me
Oh, we're going to a hukilau

Dear Parents,
Lots of Superstars showed up for Core English on Friday. Among the celebrities we had Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Princess Kate, Michael Cammalleri, Justin Beiber, Corey Hart and Laura Ingalls Wilder. Even Michael Jackson made an appearance. It was a pretty exciting day which ended a pretty busy week. Don't forget Hawaiian Day on Friday.

We have been continuing our work with the EQAO type assessments, preparing the grade threes and sixes for their assessment at the end of May. The other grades (2, 4 and 5) have benefited by learning what will come. I have marked many of the assessments and I was quite pleased how well all the students are doing. Even the students who are not participating in the assessment this year are achieving level 3's and 4's. Thanks to all students for working so hard. Don't forget to return all EQAO prep duotangs.

I am currently working on assessing all reading levels and sight word recognition for the Grade 1's and 2's. As soon as I assess your child I will send home some feedback for you to see how your child is doing.

Spring Fling

UPDATE: Spring Fling is being held June 15, 2011. Mark your calendars with this date. Sorry for any confusion with dates ( I had posted the incorrect date previously on this blog. Luckily the mistake was caught and the hard copy of the newsletter is correct). It's sure to be a fun-filled family event at General Lake. Thanks to the Parent Council for all their hard work putting this amazing event together.

Dear Parents/Guardians
I am away May 10, so the homework packages and the hard copy of newsletter will be delayed one day.

Thanks to everyone for supporting our Fundraiser for Technology. The final numbers are not in yet, but we estimate we raised about $700.00. Special thanks to Claudia and Erin for volunteering to process the orders and count the money. If anyone has any ideas for fundraising we would love to hear from you. The next Parent Council Meeting is at the end of the month.

Another great week in Core English as the students are working hard preparing for the EQAO. Students in all grades are being introduced to sample questions. For the next couple of weeks we will be working on both persuasive and descriptive writing. Primary students have been working on Persuasive Writing (Writing designed to persuade or convince) I introduced the lesson by having the kids decide whether Chippy (the Rat) would make a good Yard Patrol(Peer Mediator) and then they developed their argument either for or against. Lots of creative ideas were put forward and we enjoyed a laugh or two as we worked. Junior students have been working on descriptive writing by describing their favourite memory from this year. We spent a couple of days substituting some 'SALSA' words to enhance our writing. Instead of 'laughed' we discovered 'heehawed' and instead of 'funny' we added 'jocularity'. Again lots of fun was had with the new super vocabulary.

This week the Primary will be working on descriptive words (adjectives). Here's a copy of the funny old camp song we sang together with descriptive adjectives:
Great green gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Little birdies dirty feet
Great green gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts
Shucks I forgot my spoon

Up and Coming events

Dear Parents,

Just one last appeal to everyone to get those orders into the school for our Technology Fundraiser. The date has been extended until Friday, May 6 . Every little bit counts. Thanks to all those who have already returned their orders.

Monday was Music Monday, a day designated to promote awareness of the importance of music in the schools. Students in schools all over Canada sang the song written by Luke Doucet entitled "Tomorrow is Coming". In Core English many of the classes examined the lyrics looking for the main idea. Some students on Friday had the opportunity to create a media text (poster) to inform students, staff, and parents about Music Monday. I gave copies of the lyrics to those students who wanted. You can access the song at Itunes for 99 cents. All proceeds go back to support Music Monday. For more information see http://musicmakesus.ca/musicmonday/

I hope everyone had a safe and restful holiday.





Don't forget to return those fundraising orders in this Wednesday. The money we raise is all going toward Smartboards for the classrooms. I will continue this week adding technology to my classes. The students are very enthusiastic about these lessons, although they could be so much better with the Smartboard. I am hoping it will inspire everyone to commit to getting smartboards for the classes.

INFER SONG


The Infer Song
(Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)
Sometimes when you're reading a story
The words are not all there for you
So being a good book detective
Will help you to find any clue

Infer! Infer!
Filling in what is not in the book
Infer! Infer!
It's taking a much closer look

Some authors leave clues in their pictures
Some authors leave clues in their text
They give you just part of the story
And want you to fill in the rest

Infer! Infer!
Filling in what is not in the book
Infer! Infer!
It's taking a much closer look

Happy Easter!

This week in the Primary Core English I will not be assigning homework due to the holiday.

Just so you know, in the Primary and Junior classes we have been discussing Non fiction writing and its features including captions, glossary, index and table of contents. Primary students had the opportunity to explore non fiction writing, while the Juniors are designing their own brochures. You can help at home by drawing your child's attention to these features and discussing their purposes.

We have also been continuing our work with inferring. Students participated in a read aloud of 'Something Beautiful' by Sharon Dennis Wyeth. This moving picture book offers a shining testament to the ability of human beings to find "something beautiful" in even the most unlikely places. As a follow up students then learned 'The Infer Song', which I have enclosed on the blog and on the back of this newsletter.

This week I have been introducing the classes to different media clips that I downloaded from the Ontario Educational Resource site that I recommended in the last newsletter. Ask your child about the technology they have viewed in the classes. The students seem to respond enthusiastically to these lessons. I have downloaded them on my laptop and I project them through my projector on the screen. These same resources can be accessed more effectively through a Smartboard and could be more interactive with touch screen capabilities.

The Parent Council is currently organizing a fundraiser to help raise money to equip the school with Smartboards. I strongly encourage everyone to support this initiative to help support our students. There's a variety of products available in the brochure and the more money we raise, the more technology we can purchase. I would love to see every classroom in the school equipped with this technology. Orders are due April 27th. If 100 people sell just twenty dollars through the holiday we'll have just about enough for 2 Smart boards. Imagine what can happen if we all participate!

Finally be sure to check on the blog for updates on our classroom visitor. Three students wrote some information about Chippy. More information to come, as I post the Primary 'Diary entries of a Rat'. Thanks to all the students for their hard work in completing these.


Have a safe and Happy Holiday!
Ms. Legault

DEAR PARENTS/GUARDIANS,
Thanks you to all students who handed in their contest entry for the Waste Recovery Centre Recycling Contest. I will get those delivered and I will let you know as soon as I hear of any winning entries.


Just a reminder the Book fair is going on in the school this week April 11-15. Come on out and support the school by purchasing some of the excellent books available for the students.


Our character trait this month is Perseverance.


Homework

Students in grade 1 and 2 are invited to create their own journal entry/diary entry for our new friend Chippy. I have enclosed the worksheet. Students may decorate the page as they wish. I have reminded students to use their Pre-primer/Primer word lists to assist with spelling.

Grade 1 Diary entry Reading A-Z program

Grade 2 Diary entry Reading A-Z program


At a workshop on the PA day I was lucky enough to attend a workshop on the EQAO assessment and best practices. As recommended by the presenter, I am including all students in the EQAO Prep homework. It is no longer considered a grade 3 and 6 assessment, but rather a primary and junior assessment and the format and review will be beneficial to all students. I will introduce the work on the first day. Students bring it home to review with parents to give you a better idea of the expectations. Students will return their work on the designated day for review. I will then be able to address the gaps in their learning. I will begin this next week for the grade 1 and 2 students.


Grade 3 EQAO Prep/ Home reading incentive program

Finally, another resource I was introduced to on the PA day is the Ontario Educational Resource Bank. It is a password protected web site with resources for teachers, students, and parents of students in Ontario District School boards. I will send home the user id and password in the newsletter. As it is an Ontario resource funded by the taxpayer, we have been asked to keep passwords protected. You can access the website at http://resources.elearningontario.ca.


Thanks for your support.

April 5,2011 Dear Parents/Guardians, A short week at General Lake with the PA Day on Friday. Students in the Core English classes were excited by an unexpected visitor to their class. He's furry and friendly and he seems to be adjusting well to the classroom environment. His name is Chippy and he is a Russian Blue rat and he seems very excited to be in the classroom. The students have shown great respect for his needs keeping the noise down. He is part of our introduction to nonfiction writing and text features. Text features are parts of a text that help the reader locate information and learn information. Students are learning to identify features such as captions, bold/highlighted words, glossaries, table of contents, photographs, labelled diagrams, charts, index, maps, headings, titles, fonts. You can help your child by drawing their attention to these features in their reading and discussing how they help the reader. We have finished all the sight words to the end of grade one. Please continue to review the sight words at home.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Students in Core English have just about completed their recounts. Hopefully I will get an opportunity to publish some of the works on the blog soon. Students also examined the parts of a recount and should be able to name several different types of recounts including a diary, newspaper account and a journal. Primary students enjoyed the read aloud of the Diary of a Fly by Doreen Cronin which is an imaginative recount of the fictitious life of a fly. We will be doing more work with this book this week, as well as creating our own Diary of a Rat. More information to follow. Yard Patrol training is now being extended to the grade 4 students. I will use some class time to be training the students in conflict mediation strategies, as well as practising some roleplays with the primary students about how they can use the Yard Patrol. Although I am the English teacher, I feel very passionate about educating students in solving their problems and managing conflict effectively. I feel this training works well in the language program by developing effective communicating and problem solving skills. I will be extending a training session to other classes (grade 4 and up) during first recess on Wednesday at first nutrition break for students interested in learning the strategies to participate as a Yard Patrol. All students involved in the program must have a 'Student in Good Standing' form returned to the school by next Monday.

Special thanks to Mrs. Lavoie and Mrs Kernaghan for all their assistance replenishing the Reading A-Z books for our borrow-a-book library. These are a valuable and well used resource to the students. Thanks for volunteering your time for the students.

Also at last nights Parent Council Meeting it was brought to my attention that parents may be interested in accessing the EQAO website in preparation for the Grade 3 and Grade 6 test. On the site there are assessment samples, as well as information for parents. The test will occur at the end of May beginning of June. Specific dates will be announced closer to the dates.
