The teacher provides an update on the first week of school for Grade 5A. Students have been getting used to new classroom and school routines. The rollout of Macbooks was an exciting moment. Starting Monday, the full classroom program will begin and homework policies will be posted online. Parents are asked to provide an email and "About My Child" form by Monday for teacher records. Extracurricular activity signups begin Monday using student numbers. Medical forms were sent home and must be returned with updated information.

AUGUST 27 2010 W E E K LY U P D A T E GRADE 5A @ CDNIS Welcome Back to School! Dear Parents, Its been a very exciting and busy first week at school. The students and I have had the opportunity to get to know each other. We spent a good portion of the week getting settled into new classroom and school routines. Grade 5 is an important transition year here at CDNIS as the children are moving from the Tower to the 8th floor, getting accustomed to having lockers and having to be responsible for uniform changes on PE days. We are all settling in well and I think this has been a very successful week in that regard. Of course the Macbook rollout last night was a very exciting moment for the students, symbolizing new responsibilities, freedom and expectations. The classroom programme will be fully implemented starting Monday. The homework policy will be posted on the Homework tab of the class blog, and this space will also serve as a record of the homework that is issued each day. Can you please ensure that you have sent to me two things: 1. An email with your childs name in the subject line (this is necessary for me to confirm I have a working email for each student); 2. An attachment of the completed About My Child form (this is an excellent resource to assist me in understanding your child, and your perceptions of him/her with regard to learning). Please can you send it to my by Monday. ECA sign-up begins on Monday. Your children have their student numbers, which are required to access the electronic sign-up system. You can access the system through the link on the home page of the class blog. Please pay close attention to the information on medical forms from Nurse Karla (below). The medical forms have been sent home today with your child. Please note that there is link to a letter from Ms. Kinsinger regarding auditions for Junior Choir. Please remember as well that we will be using this blog as the primary mode of communication. A record of weekly updates will be kept under the Weekly Updates tab. Please contact me should you have any concerns or questions. Kind Regards DJ MacPherson
