Week of October 15-19

I will be having a tutoring session for Math after school on Tuesday. Please sign your child’s agenda saying you permit him/her to attend.

 

Please return all vaccination forms and picture cards if you have not already done so. The first round of needles will take place on November 8^th. School photos will take place on October 16th!

 

French

We have been working on a variety of themes in French, such as school, “Me” (describing oneself, family members, body parts, etc.) and Halloween.

 

Baggie Books are going well however I would like to remind you that it is very important that your child come to school prepared with their book on their assigned reading day. Media Logs (see note in reading folder for details) have not been completed by several students. Every school night your child is responsible for watching 20 minutes of French TV or YouTube. After doing this it should be recorded in the log and a parent or guardian must sign this log. If one night is missed, the child should make up for it the following night. There are links on the website that your child can use for this purpose.

We will be performing a school play “C’est l’Halloween” at the end of this month. Please ensure your child is practicing their parts at home.
 

Math

We are currently working on Factoring and Multiples as well as Prime and Composite Numbers in Math. It is important that your child reviews their Math notes and work at home. There are several strategies for factoring and finding multiples that we have been working on. The links below for Math are excellent for extra practice, for fun or for reinforcement.

 

Science

We will continue to look at classification systems as we explore vertebrates (mammals, birds, amphibians, fish, reptiles) and invertebrates (arthropods or “other invertebrates“).
