Good morning families,

Happy Friday!

This will be my last entry in this blog. Thank you for the photos of your insect this week. I love seeing your creativity and remember that it is these skills which help you invent things which can also help you solve real life problems. I'm excited for all of you about your future and what you have to offer the world. 

Here is a meme to give you a smile:

I'd love to see your meme's about the end of school. Send them my way so I can share them.

Your report cards will be ready at the office by Monday. Feel free to pick them up any time next week during school hours, until Thursday. If you come by, I'd love to say goodbye so let me know you are there.

Next year, for those of you in Grade 5, I will be taking a year off. My family and I have been saving and we will be travelling and working on farms in Canada, hopefully in Europe, Thailand and Australia. I will be back the following year. Enjoy Grade 6, make the most of it! 

Grade 6s, I will see most of you at 10:30 on Tuesday June 23 to rehearse for your Moving On Ceremony. 

Talk soon,

Mrs. McKerrow

Good Morning Class!

Hope this finds you well. Today is our last Zoom meeting and by request we are going to play a scavenger hunt so please tune in at 10:00am! Looking forward to seeing you there.

Can't wait for the photos of your insect. Is it going to be slimy? Will it have tentacles? How many eyes will it have?

Talk soon

Mrs. McKerrow

Good morning families,

Just a quick note to let you know to continue with the weekly challenge and that tomorrow will be our last Zoom meeting so please come so we can all see each other, play a game and talk about our summer plans. Next week is the last week of school.

Mrs. McKerrow

Happy Monday Families!

How was the weekend? That was a rainy one eh?! None the less the flowers are blooming, please come check out the school garden when you get the chance, thanks to the help of many students it is looking fabulous.

Weekly Challenge, should you choose to accept it your mission is to design a new species of insect. Remember insects have 6 legs and three body parts the head, thorax and abdomen. Otherwise, the world is your oyster, have fun and send photos with your invention!

PE: Here is Joe if you are staying inside today. Otherwise build an obstacle course.

Reminders: Summaries are still due so please keep those coming. It has been wonderful to talk on the phone with so many students about their writing. Please keep working on your Socials projects for Mrs. Vickers and keep up with IXL focussing on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Enjoy your day!

Mrs. McKerrow

Good morning Fantastic Friends!

Weekly Challenge: I'm looking forward to some pics about the Big Life Journal that you wrote in this week.

PE: Quick, get outside this morning because it is going to rain even more this afternoon. 

Reminder: please keep up your reading. I am also working on some creative writing work with some students so if doing a summary every book no longer interests you we can start work on a story. I can meet with you on the phone when ever you hand something in.

Talk soon!

Mrs. McKerrow

Good morning families!

Moving On Ceremony for grade 6's will be June 23. We are still finalizing time but it will be during the school day. Each student from my class will be allowed to bring 2 guests and families will be grouped and we will be asking family  to come in the outside gym doors. Below is a letter with some more details on this event.

Today I have some meetings with students about their writing, if you need any assistance with academics let me know I'm happy to be of assistance. 

PE: Here is Joe, but it is good weather today so make sure you get outside. 

Weekly Challenge: I hope you have spent some time looking at your Big Life Journal that I posted a few days ago. The questions and topics in this journal help us reflect on who we are and what matters to us. Right now I am finding that growing food is really important to me and something I have reflected on is how I am going to bring this more into my practice here at our school. Currently I'm looking for ideas of where we could give/sell our food if we were to grow at school during the Fall and Spring months. If you have any ideas post them below.

Have a great day, and please come and help in the garden today at 10am if you can. I already have one student signed up! (Cancelled due to a lot of rain)

Families of Grade 6 Students:

 

The end of your child's education at Kent school is drawing near.  We are currently in the process of organizing our year end Moving On Ceremony for our students.  Teachers will be contacting families directly with the time for your child’s celebration.

 

This is an exciting time for our grade 6's, we just wanted to remind you of a few items.

 

1. This is a special event and we encourage the students to dress smartly (“dressy-casual”).  For students this could mean pants and collard shirt, a simple dress, or a skirt and top. It is NOT a formal event and the wearing of anything beyond what is smart and respectable is strongly discouraged (please do not buy a gown, etc).  The school dress code will remain in effect so there should be no strapless dresses, spaghetti straps, low-cut tops/dresses and no shirts with inappropriate designs and/or messages.

 

2. We encourage all parents and family members to attend.  It is always great to have families in our school and this is an opportunity to celebrate your child's years at Kent School.

 

3. Part of our school goal is to "recognize the strengths and interests of each student".  During the celebration, the grade 6 teachers will describe and honour the strengths, interests, and achievements of every grade 6 student.

 

Thank you for your acknowledgement of these items.  If you have any questions, please contact me at the school.

Good Afternoon Class,
My apologies again, I'm just going to role with the punches here and blog when I can . I want you to know that you are all on my mind and I miss you. Even if I don't blog you are in my thoughts.

Today in class, with the grade 6's we were listening to this song several times in preparation for our moving on ceremony. Donna Gallamore and I are still working out the finer details but I will announce a date as soon as I can.

I hope everyone is continuing work on their Big Life Journal. Today we did the interviews on p.58 in class by stating out loud all the positive attributes we could about each student and then talking about where we would like to see them in 10 years. Students said I reminded them of Dr. Phil as my attribute (which I think is a compliment) and they said in 10 years I would be have a show where I teach others how to deal with children who present challenging behaviours. How about you? What attributes do you put with yourself and where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Tomorrow for PE here is Joe.

Look forward to our Zoom meeting at 10am!

Mrs. McKerrow
