Calling all creative decorators!

The grade 6 student council is putting on a gingerbread house decorating contest for all interested grade 6 students. If you would like to participate in this event, you are asked to bring an already assembled gingerbread house to school on Tuesday December 12^th along with some icing and candies to decorate it. Students can be a group of up to 4 people. They will be given 30 minutes to decorate their house. At the end, the houses will be put on display and raffled off to the general school population for 50 cents per ticket or 3 tickets for 1$. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Mustard Seed campaign that we are also involved in. It should be a fun event and we look forward to seeing the creative juices flowing. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask Mme. Colette or your student council for more details.

This week in learning:

FLA: REading chapters 3,4 and 5 and working on vocabulary. If students are absent when we work on vocabulary, the words are on this BLOG. Letters from the main character should have already been sent to  my Learn account. If not, make sure that it is done.

ELA: finishing with Reader's Theater and then moving onto a research project which will coincide with Social Studies. It will be on a Greek god. The purpose of this research is to just that...Research....good research and good websites and taking out the right information. Most students take the easy road and just take things from Wikipedia...not ok! They need to delve deeper and "I can't find the information" is not an excuse. 

SOCIAL: Test chapter 2 tomorrow. Beginning Chapter 3 Ancient Greece this week.

Religion: Working on our Social Justice project and Advent is around the corner. We will be looking at covenants, which are promises made between people.

MATH: tests went home last week and should be signed and returned. Working on the unit on decimals. Students need to be conscientious enough to ask for extra one on one help if they need it. When I ask, they say they get it, and the tests show otherwise. I don't bite!

MUSIC: Christmas concert

ART: acrylic and watercolor painting

This week in Learning:
FLA: continuing novel study and moving onto homophones in grammar. Sentence component test is going home today to be signed.

ELA: Reader's Theater. Students will present to our class for a grade and to their grade 1 reading buddies later. 

SOCIAL: finishing chapter 2...TEST November 28th. Beginning chapter 3: ancient Greece with respect to Democracy.

MATH: Test today. Will be starting Chapter 3 which is decimals. In French, we put a comma instead of a point to show decimals. 

ART: moving onto acrylic painting in the near future. Sketchbooks are due December 11th.

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

                                     

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said,

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.   

    

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

they see a bright new shining star,

they hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,

and in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,

And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

Oh my Lord                                 You sent your son to save us

Oh my Lord                                Your very self you gave us

Oh my Lord                                That sin may not enslave us

And love may reign once more

Oh my Lord                                when in the crib they found him

Oh my Lord                                A golden halo crowned him

Oh my Lord                                They gathered all around him

To see him and adore                 (This day will live forever)

Oh my Lord                               (So praise the Lord)

They had become to doubt you

Oh my Lord                               (He is the truth forever)

What did they know about you

Oh my Lord                               (So praise the Lord)

But they were lost without you

They needed you so bad             (His light is shining on us)

Oh my Lord                               (So praise the Lord)

with the child's adoration

Oh my lord                                (He is a personation)

There came great jubilation

Oh my Lord                               (So praise the Lord)

And full of admiration

They realized what they had     (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord                               (Oh praise the Lord)

You sent your son to save us

Oh my Lord                               (This day will live forever)

Your very self you gave us

Oh my Lord                               (So praise the Lord)

That sin may not enslave us

And love may reign once more
