Welcome back! I would like to commend students for their attendance and participation in last week’s school Remembrance Day ceremony. The event went off without a hitch and was a special moment for those in attendance. A reminder to parents, that parent- teacher interviews will be held this Thursday evening (Nov 20th) and Friday morning (Nov 21st). There will be no school for students on Friday. Scheduled time notices for parents/guardians interviews will be sent home Wednesday along with report card.  French - We continue to discuss “family” as our theme this week. We will take a look at what members of our family enjoying doing during their spare time i.e. activities, clubs, special events, etc. We continue to develop ideas using our writing webs in order to facilitate a descriptive writing assignment that we will write about a chosen members of our family. Guided reading continues. Please ensure students are reading nightly and recording their books in their record sheets. Again, these are books that have been well rehearsed in class and should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete.   Math - Our focus will be on the mathematical terms/vocabulary and incorporating written sentences into our responses. We continue learning our basic facts (i.e. doubles, making 10, etc). We will review strategies to add and subtract 2-digit numbers, and move on to learn strategies for addition and subtraction of 3 digit numbers. On Friday, we will also have a small pop quiz.   Reminders: - Sign and return parent-teacher interview notices. - Reading is to occur nightly. Please ensure books are signed and returned. - Book Fair Nov 18th - 20th in school library Let’s have a great week. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
