Classroom+Organization

We spend a lot of time at the start of the year looking at what I call my "Habits For Success". These are the behaviours and skills that will ensure success at any level of schooling.They are a combination of the social and academic habits that they need to work effectively in groups in any school environment. As a grade 5 teacher, my job is to help the students acquire these skills and behaviours so that the transition to middle school is as smooth as it can be.

Here is a copy of the Classroom Rule and Procedures booklet that was sent home at the start of the year. As well, this booklet includes the Study Skills Booklet we have covered in class and are practicing frequently:

Also, here is a copy of our class timetable, to help students and parents be better organized:

The students will be swimming for 6 consecutive weeks, starting on Wednesday, April 9, 2014. Here is the revised timetable for those 6 weeks. After swimming concludes, we will resume the usual timetable.
