Song # 2 Artist: Ugly Kid Joe Song: Cats in the Cradle

My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew he said,
I'm gonna be like you, dad,
You know I'm gonna be like you.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
when you comin' home?
son, I don't know when. we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then.

Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said, 'thanks for the ball, dad. come on, let's play.
Could you teach me to throw?
I said, not today. I got a lot to do.
He said, that's okay. and he walked away and he smiled and he
said ya know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
when you comin' home?
son, I don't know when. we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then.


Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
son I'm proud of you. could you sit for a while?
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
what I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. can I have them please?

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
when you comin' home?
son, I don't know when. we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then.


I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
I'd like to see you, if you don't mind.
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you.
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
when you comin' home?
son, I don't know when. we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then.

Song # 1 Artist: Foo Fighters Song Title: Walk

A million miles away Your signal in the distance To whom it may concern I think I lost my way Getting good at starting over Every time that I return
Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days We built these paper mountains Then sat and watched them burn I think I found my place Can't you feel it growing stronger Little conquerors
Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Learning to talk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin?
Now For the very first time Don't you pay no mind Set me free again
You keep alive a moment at a time But still inside a whisper to a riot To sacrifice but knowing to survive That first decline another state of mind I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign Forever, whenever I never wanna die I never wanna die I never wanna die I'm on my knees I never wanna die I'm dancing on my grave And running through the fire Forever, whatever I never wanna die I never wanna leave I'll never say goodbye Forever Whatever! Forever Whatever!!
Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough Where do I begin?
Learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough

Studying the Provinces and Capitals!

This is a great website to study the location of all of the provinces and territory locations on a map of Canada. As well the capital word scramble is a good way to memorize the capital cities of these wonderful provinces!

Procedural Writing

Our next Language Arts unit is how to write a text to inform the reader on how to something or make something! Procedural writing is a task that involves steps and descriptive words so that anyone can complete the task at hand. We will be writing an instruction manual, recipe and science experiment during this unit to prove we are awesome writers!!! Good luck guys and if you make these Sweet potatoes let me know and bring some in! They look delicious!

Summary Grade 6 FI

This is one of the best movies and scenes of all time! But please be careful not to include all of the details and make sure to state the main idea of the scene. Hint: What is Jack trying to do? You must include the details that are necessary for a complete summary of the scene and not add to many. Hint: This clip has a lot of details so be carefull! Good luck and make sure to look in your notes from class to help you summarize this great movie scene!

New Star Strategy for November: Predicting

Can you predict who this is and what he has done in this world to make it a better place?

Predicting can be used to help readers pick a book or make an educated decision on a person or book title. Students can use pictures, book titles and other features to help them predict what a reading may be about. This month students will be getting their Home Reading put in their duotangs backwards. This gives them an opportunity to predict what the biography is about before they read it. Good luck!
