Welcome to Grade 5/6 C Language Arts with Mrs. Hendriks. I am really looking forward to teaching this great bunch of students. I have gotten to know most of the students as librarian, and look forward to getting to know the new students to our class.
All the information you will need to know for class will be posted in the regular News Nuggets each week. This blog will have additional helpful resources that you can access at home, for example handouts, unit outlines or other resources for projects and assignments to help you out with homework.
The best way to contact me is email a.hendriks@hh-cs.org or by phone 905-873-6974 at home in the evenings. Please do not hesitate to call if there is a pressing concern or question.
Language Arts includes Spelling, Handwriting and Literature and Creative Writing which will sometimes be combined, for example, writing assignments may come from the literature we are studying. We will also have Reading Buddies with Grade One on Fridays. Mrs. Bonvanie and Mrs. Andrews and I are looking forward to working collaboratively so the classes will have opportunities to work together.
Our first unit is being lead by Mrs. Bonvanie. We will be looking at the Six Traits of Writing. We will be using picture books to help us understand Voice, Organization, Ideas, Conventions, Excellent Word Choice and Sentence Fluency. There will be some writing activities to help us develop skills in this area.
Later in the year we will be doing novel studies on Old Yeller, Tuck Everlasting and a group novel study.
Check in again for more information.
